Request: Perl and Perl-Gtk bindings

[Daniel Kasak]

Ah, woops. Gmail sent prematurely ...

To be honest, I'd rather be able to build Perl myself. I can't see a
'minimal' Perl being that useful to GUI developers. I assume Python is
in the runtime. The only people interested in Perl would be those also
interested in the gtk+ bindings.

Copy/pasted from my previous thread:

Perl builds successfully and I see a perl binary in sdf/files/bin that
runs ( at least perl -v runs ).

However the build ended with an error:

./perl -Ilib -I. installman --destdir=
