Description Ilya Volynets (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-12 11:05:19 UTC 
OpenSSH can build and live without perl just fine. It just won't have few utility programs. Attached patch makes dep on perl optional.

define 'few utility programs'
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2005-03-13 02:18:19 UTC 
removed in cvs

not that it really matters since perl was only a DEPEND (not RDEPEND) and openssh needs autoconf :P
