An argument could be made that since these helper programs are not core
to groff's mission, groff does not literally *depend* on Perl. That is,
if Perl is missing, groff doesn't stop running.
That argument feels lawyerly to me, though.
If the scripts are extracted into a separate package, I'll be installing
it. I wish I'd known about groffer long ago.
