In spite of what Kaz seems to believe, Perl is not needed at all
to build and check Bison.  Maybe in the past you, gemtoo maintainers,
had to workaround some build problem that you understood as "Perl is
required", but it was not meant to be.

So please, just remove that patch.  And if you encounter a build error,
please report it *as a bug*.  Because, well, Perl not expected to
be needed.

Cheers!
