FYI I didn't add this dependency because of that. I added them
(RUN_DEPENDS) because the ports provide end-user 2 scripts one in
python, the other in perl, to be able to run them we need perl and
python runtime. This has nothing to do with brain-damaged configure
script or anything like that.

I don't feel bad depending on perl and python at runtime for that
scripts because they need it. Lot's of ports does the same (glib for
example).
