It's extremely hard to build any unixly userspace without perl dependencies.

I really do wonder who (as in "which packages") still depends on perl. Surely it can't be that many?

Edit:

On my (Arch) system removing perl requires removing: auto{conf,make}, git, llvm, glibmm, among others.

excuse the late reply, but check what requires perl as a makedep
