Hi Steven,
OpenBSD does indeed come with perl, as its package managegment system,
"pkg_add" is written pretty much entirely in perl. Perl is a first class
citizens over at OpenBSD. I do believe it is also in the base system of
FreeBSD as well.
Cheers,
Jordan Geoghegan

The whole point of splitting off perl_base from perl was to eventually
make it available as a "Base" package so that it could be relied upon by
other parts of the system. I don't remember why I didn't put it into
Base at the time, but maybe we should do that now?
my knee-jerk reaction was to be against that, as I do not want to see
"Base" get
too large. However it might be a good idea. I just tested every major
Unix
distro, and some independent ones. These all come with Perl preinstalled:
- Linux Mint
- Debian
- Ubuntu
- Solus
- Fedora
- antiX
- Arch
- CentOS (based on Red Hat)
- PCLinuxOS (based on Mandriva)
- Puppy
- Lubuntu
- KDE neon
- Xubuntu
- Gentoo
- 4MLinux
- GeckoLinux (based on openSUSE)
- KaOS
- Tiny Core (based on Damn Small)
- NixOS
here are some major and independent distros that do not come with Perl
preinstalled:
- Slackware
- FreeBSD
- NuTyX (based on LFS)
- Alpine
- OpenBSD
