>Description:
pkgsrc/net/gnetcat depends on perl, but doesn't actually make
any use of perl.
The only place where perl is ever used is if you run
.../doc/texi2pod.pl to convert doc/netcat.texi -> doc/netcat.pod
- which isn't done in a normal build as netcat.pod is already
included in the source package.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_delete perl, try to install net/gnetcat
