autoconf autoreconf not found?

Hey,

I'm trying to build an application that requires autoreconf, so I've installed autoconf.tcz and I get the following:

tc@box:~$ ls -al /usr/local/bin/autoreconf
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            45 Dec  8 21:07 /usr/local/bin/autoreconf -> /tmp/tcloop/autoconf/usr/local/bin/autoreconf
tc@box:~$ cd /tmp/tcloop/autoconf/usr/local/bin/
tc@box:/tmp/tcloop/autoconf/usr/local/bin$ ls
autoconf    autoheader  autom4te    autoreconf  autoscan    autoupdate  ifnames
tc@box:/tmp/tcloop/autoconf/usr/local/bin$ ./autoreconf
-sh: ./autoreconf: not found

what gives?! The file is there but then I get a not found error? I'm really confused by this, any pointers?

Looks like a missing dep file.
Autoconf requires perl5.

great! that did it Thanks! Why would that be missing?

Looks like the dep file got lost somewhere - copied over from 4.x - thanks for mentioning this.
