Is there a particular reason for deleting these definitions?  The
value passed on the command line will override the value found in the
Makefile anyway, so there should be no harm in keeping the
PERL=... line.

The reason for providing a PERL definition in the Makefile, even
though it will be ignored under usual circumstances, is that otherwise
very strange things might happen if make is run without a PERL
definition on the command line.  We could use 'PERL=false' to ensure
that make will fail in a predictable way in such cases.
