Description Maxim Kammerer 2013-12-09 20:50:51 UTC

There is only one script using perl in sources (plugins/openxml/common/xp/converter.pl), and it is not installed (it's in EXTRA_DIST).

Indeed, looks like it's only a DEPEND (not RDEPEND)

Comment 2 Maxim Kammerer 2013-12-10 21:43:49 UTC

I don't think perl is even a DEPEND (besides as a dependency via autoconf).

Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

Looking to configure.ac seems that it will die if perl is not present

Comment 4 Maxim Kammerer 2013-12-10 21:52:51 UTC

I saw that, but assumed that all configure scripts do that (hence the remark about autoconf above). But looking at other scripts, I am wrong, so perl should probably be in DEPEND.
