"set the perimeters"

[Stahlke, Herbert F.W.]

Another egg-corn?  Google gives 537 hits for "set the perimeters" and
about 130,000 for "set the parameters".  Among the 537 are some clear
cases where the egg-corn is used with reference to software setup.  One
of our secretaries used the phrase this morning.
