=for Weird "/usr/bin/perl Build" Syntax
 We use "/usr/bin/perl Build" above instead of the normal "./Build" in
 order to make the yaourt packager happy.  Yaourt runs the PKGBUILD
 under the /tmp directory and makepkg will fail if /tmp is a seperate
 partition mounted with noexec.  Thanks to xenoterracide on the AUR for
 mentioning the problem.

 We also use /usr/bin/perl to ensure running the system-wide perl
 interpreter.

=for Letters In Versions
  Letters aren't allowed in versions because makepkg doesn't handle them
  in dependencies.  Example:
    * CAM::PDF requires Text::PDF 0.29
    * Text::PDF 0.29a was built/installed
    * makepkg still complains about perl-text-pdf>=0.29 is missing ... ?
  So ... no more letters in versions.
