Last I checked, this is never used.
The standard `file-attributes' does not have this `nonnumeric' argument

The Perl code could be made simpler by moving some of the processing
to the Elisp side, if those 800 bytes are a problem.
For me, 800 bytes per connection is "lost in the noise".
Is it significant for people who suffer through a phone connection ?
