gtk-doc @1.32: Request to remove Perl dependency

| Keywords: | perl | Cc: | |
| Port: | gtk-doc |
Description
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.

Actually, I mis-spoke;
docpercentages.plis *not* installed, nor referenced during compilation, so there will be no side-effects in removing the Perl5 dep.Pull request incoming...
