winemaker is perl script from wine package which is installing by default and dependent on dev-lang/perl and dev-perl/XML-Simple at runtime-only this is not favoured by ebuilds in portage. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.install wine with any options 2.run winemaker Actual Results: if you don'n have dev-perl/XML-Simple installed - watch at error message Expected Results: Winemaker's brief help-info dev-perl/XML-Simple and dev-lang/perl may be incomplete list.
`winedump` also needs perl as it executes function_grep.pl. so unless you can provide a way to disable perl support in all of wine, perl is a hard dep.
whatever. before this, wine-ebuilds hadn't any perl dependency. i would be glad to provide such way but for me the only one is not to use winedump and winemaker which exactly how most wine users behave. so, they probably will not be very happy with perl as hard dep.
