I added them (RUN_DEPENDS) because the ports provide end-user 2 scripts one in python, the other in perl, to be able to run them we need perl and python runtime. This has nothing to do with brain-damaged configure script or anything like that. I don't feel bad depending on perl and python at runtime for that scripts because they need it. Lot's of ports does the same (glib for example). --- Bapt
