In case it wasn't clear, the patched cygport only injects the dependency when a package touches one of the versioned perl directories, so the cases we've been discussing still need manual intervention. I think that's more in line with how Cygwin deals with that sort of thing; although in principle it could be changed to always inject a dependency and suppressing it based on either manual intervention or automatic determination (i.e. seeing that this is a Base package, in which case it should probably warn).
