Yes, I know it's 3 times larger, but this way we would at least be supporting the version of perl that everyone seems to be migrating to, we could get rid of the perl5 port, and we could also start using and supporting some of perl5's optional packages. I think it's worth the bloat if we're going to be supporting perl as a standard component at all. Jordan
