Subject: Programming: What if anything is guaranteed to be always in FreeBSD?
Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

In terms of compilers (ie C/C++) or interpreter(perl, shells) what
can be considered to be always or at least usually be included in
FreeBSD? As part of a minimal install is Perl included?

I am asking because I am thinking of creating some (very simple)
scripts/programs to aid in installation/day to day use of FreeBSD.
