Comment(by dukeleto):
I see value in getting rid of unnecessary dependencies, and I see the
value
porting some tests that are currently in Perl 5 to PIR, but converting our
entire configure, build and test subsystems is a huge undertaking. What is
the real gain?
I totally understand there are many bugs that are related to how we figure
out
compile time flags from Perl's build flags, but that is orthogonal to
totally
removing Perl 5 from the above subsystems.
I think this ticket needs to be broken down into smaller, doable chunks,
with
the benefit of each described.
