A couple points. You only need the perl packages if you want to use
the online stock lookup, a small part of gnucash, so making them
either a runtime or a build-time dependency seems overly restrictive.
Also, the packages in question are the same for both the stable
and development versions of gnucash. They are lower level net
io libraries.
