IMO, if something is best written in Perl, there is nothing wrong with
leaving it in Perl. Our current setup handles this cleanly:
bash$ mmroff
perl: Perl is not installed, try 'pkg_add -r perl'
mmroff isn't needed in building the system, nor is it a common command
(as I never knew it existed until this email).
