Actually, the whole point of this exercise is to ensure that configure
complains properly if somebody installs perl-base but not perl, that is,
what happens if perl-modules-5.24 is not there.
I think you need libperl5.xx in order to use --with-perl; and if you
install that one, you're going to get perl-modules-5.xx as a side
effect, so that scenario is covered. I don't have a minimal Debian
installation to try
configure --without-perl --enable-tap-tests
