    Refactor Perl checks into separate Autoconf macros
    
    * macros/mm-pkg.m4 (MM_PATH_PERL): New Autoconf macro to locate the
    Perl interpreter executable.
    (MM_CHECK_PERL): New Autoconf macro to require a minimum version of
    the Perl interpreter.
    * macros/mm-doc.m4 (_MM_ARG_ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION): Remove Perl check.
    (MM_ARG_ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION): Require MM_PATH_PERL.
