Hi,

in Gentoo Linux we are carrying the following patch for quite some time
to make perl dependency which is required for examples optional.

Any chance to get this applied upstream?

Subject: [PATCH] make perl & examples optional

The normal bison program does not require perl to build or run.
We make the examples logic depend on perl.

* configure.ac: Add an --enable-examples flag.
* Makefile.am: Only include examples/local.mk when ENABLE_EXAMPLES.
