Description Donny Davies (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-15 13:29:22 UTC
Hi, although sys-devel/libperl is present in the Perl ebuild DEPEND, I think it 
might also belong in the RDEPEND as well.  libperl only installs a single .so 
library, so it seems that way anyways...  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  
Thank you.

Whaddaya think?
Comment 2 Robert Coie (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-19 21:35:59 UTC
Perl is linked with libperl statically, and doesn't need libperl.so at runtime.
