The opposition to perl is to adding it to the standard NetBSD
distribution.  Many people believe it is needless additional bloat,
and/or that perl doesn't fit the model of a "pure" simple Unix tool.
And, that it's easy enough to get and build if you really want it.

You can use perl to drive all the NetBSD web sites you want -- nobody
will have problems with that.  In fact, Apache plus perl would be the
very first, and possibly only, choice most people would have for doing
Web automation, if they were planning to run it on top of any Unix,
NetBSD included.
