Based on the output I looked in the configure - script.

You can override the configure mechanism by setting and exporting an
environment var named PERL.

PERL=/usr/local/bin/perl
export PERL
./configure --prefix=/usr 

should now work.

But something seems to be wrong with your path. What configure does
is, that it looks for perl everywhere in the path and uses this
information. It normally should find your perl :-(
