Great!

> What is Perl extension, by the way?  Thanks.

Perl is a popular scripting language.  The UDUNITS extension module for
perl allows perl scripts to access the UDUNITS library.  Setting the
PERL environment variable to the empty string causees the build processs
to ignore this feature.  Since you don't know what it is, you probably
don't need it.
