If pkginstall is going to need perl, then let's make perl part of
the pkginstall-package and we are all happy.
This has also the advantage that you can install core with low memory
and low swap which may not be true for integrated pkginstall/osinstall
using perl.

I'd like to hear something about pmax supporting QBUS before i see 
an install script ;-)
