Perl is included, although by now still Perl 4 (*).  sh and csh are
there, tcl is there starting with FreeBSD 3.0 (which is, of course,
not yet available :).  C and C++ are there, of course.  f77 is
there. ;-)

(*) Don't rely on this version, and better write your scripts so they
can work under both, Perl 4 and 5.
