feedback on install.sh

[John Rudd]

1) it would be nice if, when looking for perl, if it finds multiple
copies (like /usr/bin/perl and /usr/local/bin/perl), if it would check
to see if one is a symlink to the other, and then do the right thing.

2) if it can't find GNU tar as tar, it should look for gtar

3) it keeps complaining that:

Your perl and your Config.pm seem to have different ideas about the
architecture they are running on.
Perl thinks: [sun4-solaris]
Config says: [sun4-solaris]
This may or may not cause problems. Please check your installation of
perl
if you have problems building this extension.


Seems like a silly complaint, doesn't it?


4) I also got lots of these errors:

Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 168.

during the test phases for installation of MIME-tools-5.417 and
Archive-Zip-1.14
