Do it the easy way. Grab the CVS tarball, then unpack it. Change into the snort directory and then ./autojunk.sh. It will create the missing configure for you. For that to work you'll need automake, autoheader and autoconf. As for versions, on my OpenBSD box I'm working just fine with autoconf-2.13, autoconf-2.52 and automake-1.4-p6. About needing Perl, I've got no idea why that popped up, as it's not needed. Have a look below...

Here's where I just got the newest tarball, checked for configure, used autojunk.sh to generate it, made sure it's there, and then checked for the word 'perl' in configure.

Cheers!
