I think you misunderstood what I wrote.

What I meant is: One could add an OPTION to the port that runs "make check"=
 as
part of the build process and then add perl as a dependency (hypothetical,
future development, wouldn't need changes to bsd.port.mk. But no need to de=
pend
on perl unconditionally right now, so it could be removed).

That's exactly what I said and confirmed - I spent the time to double-check=
 if
it's still true (including running "make check" in SRCDIR), as Jan's comment
was from a year ago. So we both agree that perl is not required in the build
process. I think the dependency should be removed, like you do.

BUT

Calling a maintainer timeout when the maintainer said "no" is a problem, ev=
en
if the PR is old and seems obvious.
