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.

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.
