Perl is not cheap either.... Though as some Solaris services use perl it
could not be removed from the base.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> du -hs /usr/perl5
60M /usr/perl5
Is Perl needed for an end user distribution? The few Perl scripts
could be ported to ksh93, saving 60M
A few things in ON depend on Perl like the SMF service
svc:/system/intrd:default,
the /usr/bin/kstat utility etc. It is essential. That is why Perl is
part of base ON.
However the usr/perl5 in the proto area of a opensolaris build is
much smaller.
Around 23MB. The extra stuff in usr/perl5 in Solaris Nevada is manpages
under usr/perl5/man and the presence of some additional software like
Net-SNMP
that add Perl modules. These extra stuff need not be in the base.
