I just replied on the german ML to this question, but since it was
re-asked here:

The perl USE flag pulls in dev-lang/perl as a dependency. It is now a
default USE flag on most profiles.

I guess it's due to other flavours than Gentoo/Linux may have already a
working perl in their base system (e.g. the BSDs, Darwin, whatever) and
are assumed that there shouldn't be another one pulled in.
