Hi,

I'm haven't been able to find out why postgresql11-client depends on perl:

When I comment out the USES=3Dperl in the server Makefile and build in a cl=
ean
and empty environment, everything looks fine. A recursive grep in $PREFIX d=
oes
not yield any perl code. There is some mention of perl in a "pgxs" director=
y,
but no perl code itself.=20

The postgresql docs also don't mention any perl-based features except for
pl/perl, which runs on the server.=20

The tests might contain perl code, but my "make test" on the client port ex=
its
so fast that I'm guessing it does not run test code...=20

Maybe it's a leftover of an earlier client where command line utilities were
written in perl?=20

So, can I ask to remove the dependency, or did I miss something?
