Most of mc uses of PERL is to embed path to the interpreter in VFS
helpers. There we can use path to perl for --host. But
`date-of-man-include.am` is the place where perl is used for --build.
On most systems both paths are expected to be /usr/bin/perl.
But on some systems paths might differ a bit. Most prominent
example is NixOS, where packages get installed into unique prefixes:
$ file /nix/store/...-perl-5.36.0/bin/perl \
/nix/store/...-perl-powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-5.36.0/bin/perl
/nix/store/...-perl-5.36.0/bin/perl:
ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), ...
/nix/store/...-perl-powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-5.36.0/bin/perl:
ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, ...
This allows running both binaries via qemu-user if needed for tests.
The change introduces PERL_FOR_BUILD (similar to autoconf's CC_FOR_BUILD
and friends) to allow passing both PERLs when needed.
