Because of perl-module inherit and GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL being unset, the eclass sets an unconditional dependency in irssi even if the perl USE is disabled. I believe this is not the intended behavior so I suggest the following changes: 1) set GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL="no" before the inherit While we are at it: 2) Change eutils inherit to ltprune as no other function is used
Thanks Brian for the tip! I'm putting in an ebuild and will commit it shortly.

GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL="no" is now set just before the inherit phase to allow irssi to be built without linking to Perl unconditionally. Also swapped the eutils eclass inherit in favour of ltprune.
