Details

The 'gd' binary doesn't need 'perl' package.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 2.0.36RC1-4


Steps to reproduce:
In a terminal, use the next command

[root@host ~]# pacman -Ql gd | grep -c 'bin/[a-z]'
13

[root@host ~]# file $(pacman -Ql gd | cut -d' ' -f2) | grep perl
/usr/bin/bdftogd: a /usr/bin/perl -w script, ASCII text executable

[root@host ~]# ldd $(pacman -Ql gd | cut -d' ' -f2) 2>/dev/null | grep perl
nothing

This script is used only to convert BDF fonts to GD format, exceptionally. Add this in optional depend.
