====== Prevent Make to install new version of perl ======

You can specify most of the variables or static package need to be used by make at

<code bash>
/etc/make.conf
</code>

to define perl version you need to use following variable

<code bash>
PERL_VER=5.8.8
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8
</code>

In above case existing perl 5.8.8 is going to be used rather than new version.
