Perl has been a bootstrap requirement when building from git for some
time now, although we have tried to keep away from making it a build
requirement.  Therefore, this looks like a regression, for not
gracefully building the package from a tarball without perl present.
What was the exact failure you hit, so we can correct that?  Basically,
any file that requires perl should be pre-built as part of 'make dist',
so that building a tarball will not need perl.  Likewise, any place
where 'make check' runs a perl-based test, those tests should gracefully
be skipped if perl is not present.
