### Deprecations and warnings

#### Refactor of HIPCC/HIPCONFIG

In prior ROCm releases, by default, the hipcc/hipconfig Perl scripts were used to identify and set target
compiler options, target platform, compiler, and runtime appropriately.

In ROCm v5.0.1, hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin have been added as the compiled binary implementations
of the hipcc and hipconfig. These new binaries are currently a work-in-progress, considered, and
marked as experimental. ROCm plans to fully transition to hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin in the a future
ROCm release. The existing hipcc and hipconfig Perl scripts are renamed to `hipcc.pl` and `hipconfig.pl`
respectively. New top-level hipcc and hipconfig Perl scripts are created, which can switch between the
Perl script or the compiled binary based on the environment variable `HIPCC_USE_PERL_SCRIPT`.

In ROCm 5.0.1, by default, this environment variable is set to use hipcc and hipconfig through the Perl
scripts.

Subsequent Perl scripts will no longer be available in ROCm in a future release.
