Hi,I don't like Perl really, but there's a chicken-and-egg problem between detecting Python and using it to print the configure help script.

On a minimal fedora install python is present but perl is not ... On the other hand git depends on perl, so it is probably pretty hard to find a developer workstation without perl installed, so maybe that doesn't matter much for the time being. take care, Gerd
I agree that it doesn't matter much right now, Though I don't always have git installed in containers when I am doing builds. It will become more common to encounter environments that are missing "obvious" dependencies.
This was just an "FYI" experiment. :) --js
