Bug Description
Well, this is not really a "bug", it's a feature request as otherwise the result is "buggy" or "unexpected"
Please add a new Makefile option to specify the Perl executable path.
The reason is because it's often needed to compile one's own Perl tree in order to install desired CPAN packages (and customise threads management). Most Linux distributions come with RPM packaged CPAN modules. It's difficult to manage dependency confilcts between RPM installed modules and custom needs for new(er) modules.
In the end, I never rely on the distribution Perl executable, but I create my own (installed in /opt/perl).
After having installed mylvmbackup, I had to seek for all its installed file and fix the Perl path.
It would be great this fix to be taken care of during the make.
Thanks,
Thierry

Good suggestion, that should be fairly easy to implement.
