creating librsync extension - perl test failed

[remus]

Compiling librsync-0.9.7

$  make all check

output says

Code: [Select]

======================
All 7 tests passed
(1 tests were not run)
======================
investigaton lead to

Code: [Select]

mutate.test: Skipped because perl was not found
If I install perl5.tcz this test pass's, and the process upgrades to 8/8 test's passed.

Just wondering if this is a standard COMPILE ONLY dependency, not a tcz dependency and not worry about it ?

Do not know the specific case, but it is common to use Perl or Python for testing only, not as a runtime dependency.
