Because unless the user specifically doesn't want to install Perl, it *will* come with the base install. It just won't be built with world. The thought is to install it as a port (pkg_add) at install time. They would have to go out of their way to *not* install it. The sysadmin can do something like this if they don't want Perl installed at all.
