Building the manual already requires perl (to generate libm-err.texi) so
use of perl is not necessarily a problem.

My view is that when patches cause the manual to meet particular syntax
rules that help conversion to another form of annotations, they should
also make sure those rules are enforced so we don't regress before the
conversion.
