Details

Description:

The two perl modules and mtools (required for one of the other perl scripts) are all in as optdepends. As the main functionality doesn't need perl, and without those 3 optional parts, it doesn't really need perl at all.


Steps to reproduce:

$ pkgfile md5pass
core/syslinux
$ md5pass
Can't locate Crypt/PasswdMD5.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Crypt::PasswdMD5 module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at /usr/bin/md5pass line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/md5pass line 4.
$ pkgfile PasswdMD5.pm
extra/perl-crypt-passwdmd5
$
This task depends upon
