Does Xcode need emlog.pl?

Does Xcode need emlog.pl?

I upgraded a Retina MacBook Pro from Mavericks to Yosemite. This computer has Firewall enabled.  On the first reboot into Yosemite I encountered an alert which requested permission for incoming connections to "emlog.pl".  This is a perl script for the Event Monitor Log Scraper, described at

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/emlog.pl.8.html

The executable is at /usr/libexec/emlog.pl

I am currently working on two other Macs, a new Retina iMac which was shipped with Yosemite, and an older MacBook Pro which was updated from Lion to Yosemite.  All three Macs have emlog.pl.  But the Retina MacBook Pro is the only one which wants incoming connections to that script.  It is also the only one that has Xcode installed.  Does Xcode 6.1 need this function, perhaps for remote debugging?  Or is something else going on?
