You'll note, however, that for most distros Perl doesn't depend on
openssl, libssp, etc.
Also, including extra optional stuff as dependencies is considerably
more acceptable when you're installing a primary OS. We expect a Fedora
or Arch install to need 10GB and daily security updates. That's

Hi.
So, the issue seems to be the vim-common common component includes Perl, and
Perl is bringing in all that other stuff. I see there was some discussion on

It appears that VIM can be built to interface to certain languages like Perl.
This is a
Greetings, Rick Patterson!
I am wondering why installing VIm installs so many other things: After
doing a default install of Cgwin, and then not finding VIm, I added VIM to
