Rod already mentioned the restrictive license.  I'd like to point out
that although my experience with the package itself has been positive,
I have noticed a *LARGE* slowdown with Perl man vs. C-man which tainted
my view of it a bit.  This may have changed with Perl5, but Perl4 is
what is shipped w/FreeBSD.
