Howdy, I'm looking at the use of portmaster to upgrade perl versions, and noticed that there are a ton of ports listed as dependent on perl that don't have any use for it, including one of mine:
qbittorrent-2.2.6 >> libnotify-0.4.5_3 >> atk-1.28.0 >> gio-fam-backend-2.22.4 >> gamin-0.1.10_3 >> glib-2.22.4 >> perl-threaded-5.8.9_3 Taking a look at devel/glib20, I see this: USE_PERL5= yes although from the docs in the glib tarball it's not at all clear (to me anyway) what it's used for. Given that it doesn't seem to be a rundep for glib20 it's also not at all clear to me why qbittorrent should have a pkgdep for it. Can someone please explain what the heck is going on here? (And please note, I'm picking on glib20 because this seems to be a particularly egregious example, but I'm really more interested in the problem generally.)
