We've got so many other redirectors (MTA, > binutils -> ELF/COFF etc.), why not keep /usr/bin/perl as well? My (not very strong) objection to this is that it is too specific. It has already been shown that mailwrapper can do the job of this, and I'm sure that can do some of mailwrapper's job, so _if_ we need such a tool, MHO is that it should be general enough to do perl, mailwrapper and more besides.
