Title says it all. Fix is to set GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL=no before inheriting perl-module. Reproducible: Always
No, the title doesn't say it all. Please describe exactly when and where dev-lang/perl is required.
perl-module.eclass has this: case "${GENTOO_DEPEND_ON_PERL:-yes}" in yes) DEPEND="dev-lang/perl[-build]" RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" ;; esac This code add a DEPEND+RDEPEND dependency on Perl even if perl USE flag is disabled for subversion.
Thanks.
