I only run automake with Perl 5. I don't have Perl 4 installed. I'm
not planning to make a big switch to using Perl 5 features right away.
I'm just planning to require it, and perhaps use a few of its more
convenient features here and there.
So while I appreciate your concerns, I think the immediate change will
be smaller than you anticipate.
