[collectd] trouble building 5.2.2 with perl plugin

[Russell Poyner]

Has any one been able to build 5.2.2 on ubuntu 12.04 with the perl 
plugin? I have the current libperl-dev package installed.

There is an issue here: https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/310

Just wondered if anyone had some insight on this

 From my configure attempts:
configure --enable-perl --with-libperl

perl  . . . . . . . . no (needs libperl)

In config.log:
