[squid-users] Squid 3.5.12 RPMs update for CentOS 7.

[Eliezer Croitoru]

I have just updated the CentOS 7 build due to an error in the the build 
process of the RPM auto dependencies identification.

Details:
When the RED-HAT rpm build tools sets the dependencies for a script it 
sets the "shbang" binary location as a static dependency requirement.
In this specific case when squid is being configured it fills the PERL 
variable with "/bin/perl" which is a hard link to "/usr/bin/perl".
This results in a situation which perl cannot be upgraded since as the 
part of the update path it supplies only "/usr/bin/perl" and there for 
the RPM tools identify in this situation an issue and wont allow to 
update squid-helpers package.
The fix is to statically declare the PERL variable in the build environment.

Currently 3.5.12-2 for CentOS 7 fixed this issue.
