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.
