It would appear that you have $sharpbang set to '#!' in config.sh, when
in fact your kernel doesn't recognize it.  The hint is the "not found"
messages--Perl doesn't ever give such a message, but the shells do
frequently.  Hence, a shell is attempting to execute a Perl script.

Either you used a foreign config.sh file on this machine, or Configure
got loused up over #!, possibly because you ran it under some shell other
than /bin/sh that emulates #!.  Or a Nazi spy snuck in while you weren't
watching and edited your config.sh...
