automake is part of the automake package.
automake describes how to build a program.
automake is used to automatically generating makefiles. It is part of autotools.
automake requires perl. The resulting files, however, don't.

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE macro.
Required files

automake does not enforce the presence of these files if
Makefile.am contains the following line:

--force-missing (-f)
Forces update of missing files.
