neat thing is that I swore that I took out perl5 altogether if the install
wasn't being performed by root...and looking at the logs, it appears I
did, and it got undone:

change configure so that if postgresql isn't being installed as root,
do not configure in the perl5 interface.

the perl5 interface needs to be installed under /usr/local/lib/perl5/*,
which is generally owned by root.  This allows a non-root build/install
with the only root requirement being the make/install of hte perl5
stuff...
-------------------------

So, who took the root check out, and when, and why?
