My inclination is to point out that it actually works on Solaris-Athena
and if anyone cared about Linux they would have complained earlier.
Fix it in a way that doesn't break other OSes. If you want to break
the symlink and ahve two versions, that sounds good ot me.
Though I do think /usr/bin/perl works under Solaris, though
maybe not under 7.7. I'm of mixed opinions there -- if you change it,
break the symlink for any 7.7 architectures, please.
