Comment(by jdemeyer):

 Line 131 in the new file: it is false that PARI needs `perl` (it might
 have been true some time in the past, I don't know).  Only the PARI/GP
 ''documentation'' (not installed or used by default) needs `perl`.

 Line 752 in the new file: the comment about PARI's galois data files is
 also completely outdated and should be removed.

 By the way, "starting the first time can take a few minutes" is totally
 true when you have a slow disk on a busy system (e.g.
 sage.math.washington.edu)
