Are there instructions anywhere on how to do this? I could have sworn Perl, absent some other scripting language, was an absolute requirement. If it is possible I will have another go.
From the Makefile (which is exceedingly well commented):
# Define NO_PERL if you do not want Perl scripts or libraries at all.
#
I don't know what functionality you lose that way, and you might very well still require it to build it (don't know, not tried), but the core functionality should all work.

if you don't need http/https/svn/gtk support then git can be built without perl, curl, git-svn, python etc. installed
