Just to clarify a bit more:

address@hidden:~/dev/osavr/os/net$ file $(which autoconf-2.57) $(which
autoheader-2.57) $(which automake-1.7) $(which aclocal-1.7)
/home/roth/local/bin/autoconf-2.57:   Bourne shell script text executable
/home/roth/local/bin/autoheader-2.57: a /usr/bin/perl script text executable
/home/roth/local/bin/automake-1.7:    a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable
/home/roth/local/bin/aclocal-1.7:     a /usr/bin/perl script text executable
