That's fine; however I don't use `expr` often, so it required
a little more time to realize the '2' means 2 characters were
matched.

Also, my use of a numeric comparison may be more future-proof
in case FreeBSD decides to have /usr/bin/perl again.

I also wonder why we don't use `which` to search for somewhat
standard path components, instead.  Something like:

  PERL_PATH = $(shell PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin which perl)
