Unless we make installation of the perl package happen automatically as
part of sysinstall.  I spent an hour looking at sysinstall and got a
head-ache.

I'm not saying that this is a preferable solution, just a solution that
we know will definitely work, while new C versions of these utilities
don't have much time to get tested.

Remember that we didn't remove Perl from the base system because we
didn't think FreeBSD should ship with it; we had other reasons that
related mostly to maintenance.  These issues are not tickled by a
package install.

Of course, someone would actually have to work past the head-ache and
produce a working patch for sysinstall.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
