Description:
From the distribution README:

Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk
and shell.  See the manual page for more hype.  There are also two Nutshell
Handbooks published by O'Reilly & Assoc.  See pod/perlbook.pod
for more information.

>Fix:

	unknown, but possibly one of:
	- require perl-5.6.1 and upgrade perl? (I'd rather not just now ;-)
	- fix mkpatches?
