 There was a bug reported in the mailing list:
 [postgis-users] make generates incorrect PERL variable value on v1.5.2

 This was a bug where the postgis 1.5.2 build failed on postgres 9.0.4 due
 to $(PERL) being replaced with a non existant version of active perl when
 building  postgis_upgrade_15_minor.sql

 I finally resorted to running strace on make and I have identified the
 problem as bogus paths in pgxs, specfically the file listed below:
 /opt/postgres/9.0/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/makefiles/../../src/Makefile.global

 This file contains numerous hard coded paths to active state products and
 breaks the 1.5.4 postgis build.
