General remark:<br><br>I suspect lots of recipes depend on perl if only in their configure scripts.<br>I guess doing per-patckage staging could improve the visibility of this.<br><br>Also wrt /usr/bin/env perl:<br>I haven't peeked into the source of env, but ideally non-native recipes should maybe not rely on host packages, only on the ones we build.<br>
E.g. no /usr/bin in PATH wehn building these (and yes, I know that is not trivial and will trigger some bugs and it also does not help against hard coded paths, and probalby some progs will cause a pain (e.g. /bin/sh)).<br>
Maybe a chrooted system would be better, but I vaguely recall that this was once discussed (and presumably rejected).<br><br>Another thing we could do is have our own env program which (in this case) does not return a path to perl if the native package is not there (and thereby causing things to fail instead of silently using the host perl).<br>
<br>Have fun! <br>Frans.<br>
