*depclean asking to remove many* perl**

A recent world update followed by depclean resulted in a request to
remove nearly 30 dev-perl packages (plus an old boost).

I don't use perl, but wonder what triggered this change. I have not
changed any use flags.

My inclination is to let depclean have its way, but wanted to check here
first in case this looks suspicious to anyone.

thanks,
allan

Something dropped the perl dependency. Same results here. I let it
remove it and there were no problems.

Thank you.

That was my conclusion as well. I am letting depclean go as I type
this.
