I looked only at the build side with my compilation logs looking for 'perl ' and '\.pl '. Not all my compiled packages are in verbose mode, so I may miss some call and every anonymous perl script that is not using a .pl name. This was observed with the usage I made from those package, often with more --disable options than LFS/BLFS. bind-9.8.3 use a perl script fcron-3.0.6 use a perl script gcc use texi2pod.pl krb-1.9.3 has many perl one-liner call, libpcap-2.22 has one perl one-liner call linux-atm-2.5.2 call a perl script ntp-4.5.3 call a perl script openssl-1.0.1c produce the asm from a perl script and Configure is a perl script openswan-2.6.38 use a perl script syslinux-4.05 need perl to create some code wget-1.13.4 use texi2pod.pl I skipped here all perl related packages Good luck to compile without perl.
