Summary: As is well known, by the Floquet--Bloch theory for periodic problems, one can transform a spectral Laplace--Dirichlet problem in the plane with a set of periodic perforations into a family of ``model problems'' depending on a parameter $\eta \in [0,2\pi]^2$ for quasiperiodic functions in the unit cell with a single perforation. We prove real analyticity results for the eigenvalues of the model problems upon perturbation of the shape of the perforation of the unit~cell.
