Alexander Kanavin 6b9af87f3e perl: clean prior to build
Otherwise, when running configure/make on a previously built tree,
makefiles generated by makemaker may detect that 'configuration has changed',
followed by self-deletion, self-regeneration, requesting the user to
re-run make and exit 1. And therefore do_compile goes kaboom.

perl-cross provides configure script, top-level Makefile and some auxiliary files for perl,
with the primary emphasis on cross-compiling the source.

# Get perl and perl-cross sources
curl -L -O http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
curl -L -O https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/releases/download/1.1.3/perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz

# Unpack perl-cross over perl, overwriting Makefile
tar -zxf perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
cd perl-5.24.1
tar --strip-components=1 -zxf ../perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz

# Proceed as usual with most autoconfed packages
./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr -Duseshrplib
make -j4
make DESTDIR=/path/to/staging/dir install

Unlike mainline Perl, this configure never runs any target executables,
relying solely on compile/link tests and pre-defined hints.
On the flip side, it is only meant to run on resonably sane modern unix systems.

Check project pages for more info.
In particular, configure usage lists available configure options.
