Description:   Opened: 2006-01-27 13:39 0000 
By default, xinetd pulls in perl as a RDEPEND. As far I can see you only need
perl for converting inetd.conf files to the xinetd conf format and not to be
able to run xinetd.

I susgest that perl is removed entirely as a RDEPEND. If you need it you could
emerge perl yourself. (normally you wouldnt notice since most people have perl
installed).

Alternatively there could be a minimal useflag that discards the perl runtime
dependency and removes the perl script.

This perl dependency hurts in gentoo-embedded so please remove the RDEPEND.

bad idea

good idea: make it conditional on USE=perl

added USE=perl
