Shouldn't it only have this dependency, if you actually use the Oracle
backend?

Just compile perl yourself and install it somewhere into /opt or /usr/
local.
That's a lesson I learned 5 years ago - while you should work with the
distro and not against it, you should also work with the software you
want to install and not against it.
The other thing I learned back then is that it installs flawlessly on
FreeBSD - and FreeBSD doesn't rely on Perl and Python to run the base
OS.
