Re: RFC 155 - Remove geometric functions from core

[Tom Christiansen]

You don't beneficially make Perl any more anything by ghettoizing
its useful systems functionality.  You certainly don't make it 
more "portable".   I still can't use any of my myriad useful systems
hackery script if I try to run them on CP/M, and you aren't going to
change that one whit.  So what if it's in a ghetto hole?  It still
doesn't work.
