Replying to [comment:7 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`.
Thinking about this particular point, I don't see the need for documenting
what component(s) of Sage uses Perl. I added R, as there were already
packages mentioned, but really all the user needs to know is that they
need a version of Perl that is >= 5.8.0. Whether it's use by R, NTL, Pari
or foobar is not really important.
