The modules that _are_ included with Perl, however, were chosen for a reason. The argument that X "has nothing to do with FreeBSD" is an awfully slippery slope. Perl is supposed to be useful for certain things "out of the box", much as FreeBSD is (currently) a complete operating system. I beg you to reconsider distributing a less-than-complete Perl. -- "Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, What should be the reward of such sacrifices? ...
