At present time, it's primarily automake.

Besides this, some (neglectable) tools in RTEMS might want to apply
perl.

cf. automake.info

You will need them if you modify/add any auto*-tool file in RTEMS's
source-tree. I.e. if you plan to start developing on RTEMS, you will
very likely want to install perl.
