Configuring vit fails on the buildbots, e.g.:

Sounds like you need to inform the configure script that perl is actually located at /opt/local/bin/perl5.12.

Noticed, thanks. Solved by using env perl instead of hardcoded path in vit.pl and removing the relevant check in configure. Commited in r106751.
