just added a perl search routine into "configure[.in]" which sets
PERL in /src/CMD/head/head

Can we utilize this somehow for the
./src/scripts/contrib/g.html2man/g.html2man
script?

I will change
src/CMD/generic/make.mid
accordingly. Hope it's o.k. for all platforms. Tested on Linux
and Solaris (by Bob).

I guess this is a "configure" thing, Solaris specific?

SUN tar is rather odd.

Will be a "configure" thing as well.

Thanks for your notes,
