Comment (by gdt):

 I've had a similar issue, which I think has been discussed on the list.
 In pkgsrc, the issue is that the build of base postgresql does not depend
 on perl, and therefore perl in pgxs is missing.  One can argue this is
 broken, but the basic problem is that packages that depend on many things
 and can reasonably be split into pieces are difficult to deal with and
 there are no truly good solutions, other than upstream splitting them.

 I have replaced $(PERL) with @PERL@, but the notion of setting PERL=@PERL@
 so that it is definitive vs pgxs sounds sensible too.

 Arguably postgis should either look for perl and always use @PERL@, or not
 look for perl and insist on pgxs being right.  I prefer postgis looking
 for it.
