autoconf in Perl

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

Thanks for writing autoconf!

I would like to know if it is possible to generate 'configure' script
in Perl itself? I see that autoreconf, autoheader, autom4te, autoscan,
autoupdate are all in Perl. If 'configure' is in Perl, would that run
faster on bash? Maybe, I am missing something here. autoconf bash
script is generated from m4 macros using M4sh?

Appreciate any thoughts,

Thanks!

SK
