Comment (by jmr@…):

 You're right that the macro is fundamentally broken, but it's already
 baked into countless configure scripts. Maybe we could at least have
 intltool install a file indicating which perl it uses, so the dependents
 can do something like:
 {{{
 configure.env-append INTLTOOL_PERL=[exec cat
 ${prefix}/share/intltool/perl_path]
 }}}
 which then allows the version used to be updated without breaking
 everything.
