I don't like the concept of adding perl to the distribution because
IMHO it's a lot of bloat for not much more functionality than already
exists (awk, sh, &c.).  However, that doesn't mean that I would have a
problem if perl were to be used on www.netbsd.org; AFAIK most of the
CGI scripts in existence require perl.
