Description:
The "urxvt*" binary/script really need "perl" package (not optional).


Additional info:
* package version(s): 9.12-1


Steps to reproduce:
In a terminal, use the next command
* Show if "perl/urxvt" are installed
[root@host ~]# pacman -Q perl rxvt-unicode
error: package "perl" not found
rxvt-unicoded 9.12-1
* Run "urxvt" or "urxvtd" (not "urxvtc") binary
[root@host ~]# urxvt //same with "urxvtd"
urxvt: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
* Run "urxvt-tabbed" (script)
[root@host ~]# urxvt-tabbed
-bash: /usr/bin/urxvt-tabbed: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
* Check the dependencies
[root@host ~]# ldd /usr/bin/urxvt* | grep perl
libperl.so => not found //for "urxvt"
libperl.so => not found //for "urxvtd"
[root@host ~]# file /usr/bin/urxvt-tabbed
/usr/bin/urxvt-tabbed: a /usr/bin/perl script, ASCII test executable

Perl is in 'base' group, it should always be installed. If you uninstall any 'base' group package, you should know what you're doing.

By that logic, it shouldn't be listed as an optdep either. It's clearly needed for general usage, so it should be listed as a dependency.
