Description
If we're using GNU Autotools or CMake, we shouldn't need Perl anymore. (I believe Doxygen requires Perl, but Perl is no longer a direct dependency of this project.) The Perl dependency was introduced by the `depend.pl` script, but this script is no longer needed.

Research direction
Locate the `depend.pl` script and the GNU Autotools or CMake dependency declarations. Check whether the script is still referenced and whether Doxygen remains the only Perl-related requirement, then update the build metadata so Perl is no longer a direct dependency. Confirm that the project’s configured build still completes without Perl.
