Re: [gnome-db]Re: libgda Perl bindings task

[Akira TAGOH <tagoh gnome-db org>]

Is the Perl bindings a must?
Right now the configure script checks the existence of perl
without option as --with-perl. I think that we should enable
it to choose whether the Perl bindings is installed or not.

If you agree it, I will commit it.
