hahaha...

Basically it breaks my current lazy development work flow and asks me to
do one extra step. "make test" in script directory.

Code itself is simple as it can be.

If you apply my proposed changes provided as git diff, not just
libgit-wrapper-perl but all these lib*-perl dependencies can be
<!nocheck> since these are used only in the test target and no-need to
install these.

Dependency comes from the perl syntax checker requiring modules in
system.  But if you don't run syntax checker, you don't need these.
