Thanks!

We should make sure that the built package doesn't retain a reference to
Perl.

It's interesting that `guix refresh -l sed` doesn't show the full impact
of this change:

$ guix refresh -l sed
Building the following 4 packages would ensure 4 dependent packages are 
rebuilt: password-store-1.6.5 hydra-20151030.1ff48da bamm-1.7.3 roary-3.7.0

Also, this part of the package definition is incorrect:

(substitute* '("testsuite/bsd.sh"
               "testsuite/bug-regex9.c")
  (("/bin/sh")
   (string-append bash "/bin/bash")))
#t)))))))

Bash and sh behave differently; the replacement string should refer to
'/bin/sh'.

Feel free to correct this in your patch, or I will do it in a later
commit. Let me know what you decide.
