I installed MSYS perl. I can see it in my msys/bin directory as perl.exe 
and perl5.6.1.exe. When I tried to run 'configure' again it now gives me:

checking for perl... /bin/perl
checking for Perl 5.006 or newer... not found
configure: error: perl is required but was not found, please install it

I have no idea why it thinks that perl does not exist or is not the 
right version.
