I think make and gcc is required to build perl, thus IFF it were possible to build/install the openpkg-tools using the system perl openpkg-tools would not have any dependencies and could be used straightaway. ie. the only real dependency is that perl exists. If the system perl is of a high enough version a nice touch might be a build option: openpkg_tools::with_system_perl = no (default option) Which we can override if necessary.
