On further investigation I found that the PERL_LEVEL variable
had no effect.  The source of the 'perl5' is this line from
the glib20 configure script:

for ac_prog in perl5 perl
do...

It tests for perl5 first and finds it, so it accepts perl5
as the name of the program.

If you think this really the wrong approach I can email the
person who is maintaining the config file and suggest a
change.

Just changing the order of the test fixes the problem, but
do you think there would be a better fix?
