5# SYNOPSIS
6#
7#   AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([VERSION],[ACTION-IF-TRUE],[ACTION-IF-FALSE])
8#
9# DESCRIPTION
10#
11#   Makes sure that perl supports the version indicated. If true the shell
12#   commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If not the shell commands in
13#   ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. Note if $PERL is not set (for example by
14#   running AC_CHECK_PROG or AC_PATH_PROG) the macro will fail.
15#
16#   Example:
17#
18#     AC_PATH_PROG([PERL],[perl])
19#     AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION([5.8.0],[ ... ],[ ... ])
20#
21#   This will check to make sure that the perl you have supports at least
22#   version 5.8.0.
23#
24#   NOTE: This macro uses the $PERL variable to perform the check.
25#   AX_WITH_PERL can be used to set that variable prior to running this
26#   macro. The $PERL_VERSION variable will be valorized with the detected
27#   version.
