Summary0002813: Makefile hardcodes perl; should use $(PERL)
DescriptionHello! Building NetSurf 3.10 on macOS I had a small problem because while netsurf/Makefile has a PERL variable and uses it in some places, in other places it hardcodes "perl".

I used the attached patch to fix the problem.

Looks like the code has been reorganized a bit since the 3.10 release.
Steps To ReproduceFor example run "make PERL=/some/other/perl" and notice that not all invocations of perl use that perl.
TagsNo tags attached.
