DKMS zfs module fails to configure if perl is not installed

[carrossos]

If perl is not installed on the system, trying to build the zfs module via dkms (zfs-dkms 2.2.2-1) will fail at configure phase.

Installing perl allows the module to be build properly. Probably perl should be added as dependency?
