Because of this dependency line

The groff package includes several helper programs written in Perl:
afmtodit, groffer, and grog.
Red Hat and Mandriva split these utilities out into a separate
package[*] but that would be something you'd have to prevail on cgf to
change.

Note this issue is only with the 64-bit version, the base 32-bit Cygwin install
does not require Perl.
32-bit Cygwin still ships groff 1.21. 64-bit Cygwin ships groff 1.22.2.
cgf probably added the requirement to his setup.hint file after
upgrading the package. Whenever he rebuilds 1.22.2 for 32-bit, I expect
32-bit Cygwin to start requiring Perl, too, unless he splits out the
Perl programs into a separate package.
