           Summary: Perl is needed to build the kernel but it is not in
                    Documentation/Changes
           Product: Documentation

          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
        ReportedBy: jluis-v7/jHdWd/zNeH41UXmfQsti2O/JbrIOy@public.gmane.org

Perl is used on the kernel Makefile to generate documentation, firmwares in c
source form, sources, graphs, and some headers.

Documentation/Changes does not list Perl 5 and the following modules:
Getopt::Long, Getopt::Std, File::Basename, and  File::Find.

I noticed this when building the kernel on a openmoko GTA02 using distcc for
some bechmarchs
