Re: [Cooker] Minimal installation of Mandrake [Re: 750 meg of cooker: how to divide?]

Loooks like - yes, Perl is still needed by some packages. At least, I was not 
able to clean up it from my installation completely, but succeded with some 
minor perl-related packages.

Perl is scripting language, right? And old-fashioned, not easy to use...
I believe it can be replaced by JavaScript, especially taking into 
consideration that it is now has ECMA standard (ECMA script)
It will take some time compilers/make utilities to follow, but system setup 
should go without Perl.
