I would think that depending on Perl to install packages would be undesirable.

Or would you propose that the output of munge-texi.pl would be
distributed in the package tarball so users installing the package do
not need it? That only package maintainers (of packages that have
Texinfo manuals) would need it to build the docs before uploading?

Alternatively, how complicated is munge-texi.pl? Could it be rewritten
as an Octave function? I'm not looking at it at the moment. What does
it do that you would like to use in your package?
