If you run the top level bootstrap script in a checked out tree, then you just
need to run configure --with-perl (just adding it when you run the top-level
configure is simplest - other modules will ignore it with a warning).

HACKING already documents using bootstrap.

I'll add a note about perl not being auto-enabled currently.

make dist

Or you can use the ones here if you want trunk as in SVN:
