Any update / comments here?

Looking deeper, in swig/perl/Makefile.PL, line 50:

    die "GDAL version ($gdal_version) and module version ($pm_version)
do not match"
        unless $gdal_version eq $pm_version;

- $gdal_version is picked up from CONFIG_VERSION="1.6.0" in
apps/gdal-config

- $pm_version is picked up from GDAL_VERSION in swig/perl/Makefile.PL,
which always fails because it's not in swig/perl/Makefile.PL (or at
least does not get generated into swig/perl/Makefile.PL)
