Yeah. Although the project policy is that we don't require Perl to
build on Unix, there was a bug in the makefiles that made it effectively
required, and nobody noticed for several years. I don't think it would
be a hard sell to change that policy if we got a significant benefit out
of it. (Depending on non-core Perl modules is a totally different thing
though.)
