Tim Bunce [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] quoth:

*>It is impossible to install Solaris 8 (even in the most minimal
*>configuration) without Perl also being installed in /usr/bin/perl.
You can remove it in Jumpstart with a little voodoo, but it takes some
work...much like removing NIS :)
*>There are also a bunch of Solaris commands that are *implemented* in perl
*>(performance stats stuff, I forget the names, written by Alan Burlison).
kstat. Also, 9 will come with 5.6.x.
Without you and Alan and a few others championing Perl, I'm not quite sure
that it would be part of the core as it is today. A shining example of
advocacy and we thank you for it :)
