And yet, with the use.perl script installed as part of the port, we can
provide a solution that IS, "as quick as creating a symlink." tobez and
I were discussing it some last night, and we have an idea for just
automatically doing the right thing for -current systems that have no
perl installed.
I agree that for users who want perl, we should have a /usr/bin/perl
that "just works." I also agree that more thought needs to go into what
form that takes.
