Original patch from: gentoo/src/patchsets/glibc/2.9/1030_all_glibc-manual-no-perl.patch

 -= BEGIN original header =-

 If we're using a cvs snapshot which updates the source files, and

 perl isn't installed yet, then we can't regen the docs.  Not a big

 deal, so just whine a little and continue on our merry way.
