[to follow-up on what I said in a different thread...]

On my 5.0-dp2 system, if I ignore /usr/local and /usr/ports, it
looks like the following files installed by -dp2 are perl scripts:

   /usr/bin/mmroff
   /usr/bin/afmtodit

   /usr/sbin/adduser
   /usr/sbin/rmuser

   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/clmerge
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/cln_hist
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/commit_prep
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/cvs_acls
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/log
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/log_accum
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/mfpipe
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/rcslock
   /usr/share/examples/cvs/contrib/easy-import

   /usr/X11R6/bin/mkhtmlindex
   /usr/X11R6/bin/bdftruncate.pl
   /usr/X11R6/bin/ucs2any.pl

   /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/mtrace

Perhaps some of these have been converted to something else since
5.0-dp2, and I expect we don't care about the /usr/share/examples
ones anyway.  (my 5.0-dp2 system is the full-distribution install
of dp2, including X11, src, ports, and linux-compat, but no extra
ports or pkgs installed.  This did bring in perl, although I was
never asked about perl per se)

If my search of the -current mailing list is correct, a plain-shell
version of rmuser was done, but apparently was never committed.  It
also looks like
      http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/45337
has a version of rmuser rewritten in C.  As near as I can tell, no
one has rewritten adduser as a plain-shell script or in C.  Do we
need to get these rewrites in for 5.0-release?

Do any of the other remaining perl scripts listed above need to be
rewritten for 5.0-release?
