Package: perl-base (5.8.8-7) [essential]

The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister

A scripting language with delusions of full language-hood, Perl is used in many system scripts and utilities.

This is a stripped down Perl with only essential libraries. To make full use of Perl, you'll want to install the `perl', `perl-modules' and optionally `perl-doc' packages which supplement this one.
