why is Perl Build-Essential: yes?



"apt-cache show perl" lists it as "Build-Essential: yes". But why? It's not in the transitive dependencies of build-essential, nor /usr/share/doc/build-essential/list, and I can't find that header verbatim in Perl's debian/control in the source, nor in the binary (I checked perl_5.40.1-3_amd64.deb with dpkg-deb -I)


Thanks,
