Description

If I do a vanilla configure, make, make check on Mac OSX 10.6.4 the make check fails with these messages:

1. Looks like your test died before it could output anything.

I understand that the problem is that the perl Bit::Vector module is not installed. If it is required by the runtime, then I feel the configure should check for its presence, and fail if it's not installed. Of course, if I specify --with-perl=no on the configure command line then this check should not be done.

I tested against 0.4 RC0.
