If you only install one compiler, then that compiler will be used.
If you install both compilers, then the compiler actually used depends
on the SHOREWALL_COMPILER setting in shorewall.conf.
The value of this new option can be either 'perl' or 'shell'.
If you add 'SHOREWALL_COMPILER=perl' to /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
then by default, the new compiler will be used on the system. If you
add it to shorewall.conf in a separate directory (such as a
Shorewall-lite export directory) then the new compiler will only be
used when you compile from that directory.
If you only install one compiler, it is suggested that you do not set
SHOREWALL_COMPILER.
You can also select the compiler to use on the command line using the
'C option:
'-C shell' means use the shell compiler
'-C perl' means use the perl compiler
The -C option overrides the setting in shorewall.conf.
Example:
shorewall restart -C perl

When the Shorewall-perl compiler is used, your params file will be
processed during compilation with the shell's '-a' option which causes
any variables that you set or create in that file to be automatically
exported. Since the params file is processed before shorewall.conf,
using -a insures that the settings of your params variables are
available to the new compiler should its use be specified in
shorewall.conf.
