-Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Eliminate usage of the `perl` command
-
-dev-lang/perl is not an implicit system dependency, so we cannot assume
-its existence during build time.  The Makefile uses the `perl` command
-to generate the name of the JAR being built with it, but the ebuild uses
-Ant and a custom build.xml to build the JAR, and it uses the Makefile to
-build only the JNI part, thus the name of JAR in the Makefile will not
-be used.  For this reason, this package can still be built and installed
-without dev-lang/perl.  However, a QA notice for absent `perl` command
-will appear in this case.  Rather than declaring dev-lang/perl as a
-dependency, it might be better to eliminate usage of the `perl` command
-if it is never used in any meaningful way.
