Description Enne Eziarc 2016-01-25 21:10:06 UTC 
The perl package is needed for building l10n translation files -- without it, the build will spit out a few errors but still complete, and the resulting netsurf-gtk binary ends up unreadable (all text labels display internal codenames).

(Also FWIW, NetSurf and its deps currently lack an ~x86 keyword but it runs fine on that for me.)

I could not reproduce this problem with www-client/netsurf-3.3-r1, but www-client/netsurf-3.4 fails without it. So I add it there.
