 Well, it says "Note that this method may sometimes fail [...] if ports
 other than gawk/grep/gsed are used opportunistically". It doesn't
 specifically mention perl, though I agree perl could be used
 opportunistically too.

 Then why didn't MacPorts rebuild it? help2man declares a dependency on
 perl. p5-locale-gettext, which the output shows was already upgraded, is a
 member of the perl5 portgroup, which also declares a dependency on perl.
