#63406: gtk-doc @1.32: Request to remove Perl dependency
-------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  evanmiller   |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:
Component:  ports        |    Version:  2.7.1
 Keywords:  perl         |       Port:  gtk-doc
-------------------------+---------------------
 Perl is no longer listed as a requirement in the GTK-Doc documentation.
 That's because gtk-doc now contains exactly 1 Perl script,
 {{{docpercentages.pl}}}. This script has not been modified since 2003, and
 is not referenced anywhere in the gtk-doc code base, except in the
 Makefile to install it. It is 155 lines long.

 Can we make Perl 5.28 an optional variant, or just remove the dependency
 altogether? I'd very much like to nuke P5.28 from my system. This port is
 the last holdout. Arigato.
