New Revision: 1936961
Log:
Remove the Perl requirement in INSTALL.
* INSTALL
(I.C.11): Remove the Perl section entirely. Perl isn't a direct requirement
for building SVN. It's only needed to run APR-Util's w32locatedb.pl script
for some BDB-related build tasks on Windows (and it seems that the script
itself was removed from APR's trunk BTW). Other sections affected by this
change were renumbered as well.
