Actually, I wouldn't complain too loudly if perl where in a
consolidation of its own. :-)
The one potential drawback to this is the few perl bits that are used to
access some system critical information. (E.g. psrinfo, kstat, etc.)
I hope these tools are not the _reason_ that perl was brought into ON.
