OK, here's a "why" on not changing:
| configure.in:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_PERL
|       If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
|       See the Autoconf documentation.
| configure.in:7: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PERL_MODULE

Which if we fix by building vs perlnative we then need autotools.bbclass
to inherit perlnative to make life reliable which isn't what you want
wrt perl-native in the build chain :)
