People who build packages should expect to have all the package building
tools installed, and if that includes automake, and thus perl, then
that's the way it is.  If you don't like it then don't "support" tools
which require such top-heavy build systems.  Life's too short to worry
about such silly things, especially when hard-coding the patches makes
further local patching impossible without undoing a lot of the
hard-coding.
