I was the inital poster, and I was using perl 5.6.1. I do not know if this
option is implemented on perl 5.004_04. I also think that Policy.sh is
something that gets generated by running ./Configure, for you to use
later. In my build process, this allows to pre-define configration
variables and then run ./Configure -der to merge your values with the
autodetected values.

I can confirm that the byte order autodetected by ./Configure is "4321",
and that the configuration variable to use is "byteorder", at least for
5.6.1.

My problem was that this auto-detection is turned off when I had some
other option turned on...
