Bzzt. I've used the perl interpreter before on a project.
[description of use-case]
Any comments?
I don't really care that the perl/tcl integration stays or goes, but
it's certainly not "never been used".
Let's rephrase it: as nvi needs to link to perl, and we do not have a
perl in the base since a loooong time, surely nobody was using the
stock basesystem-nvi with the perl (and tcl) interpreter. As we also
will not import perl/tcl into the basesystem again (at least not in
the foreseable future), the code is useless for our basesystem.
Whoever wants a vi with with such an interpreter, needs to compile one
himself anyway and there are enough alternatives in the ports.
Bye,
Alexander.
