Perl was installed, albeit in an ancient version, and compiling Perl 
modules written in C was out.  It just did not work.

But the good part was: after converting rerere to be a builtin, there 
were no Perl scripts left that I wanted/needed to use.

These days, we only have these Perl scripts left: add--interactive, 
archimport, cvsexportcommit, cvsimport, cvsserver, relink, send-email and 
svn.

Ignoring the scripts to interact with other SCMs (which I can do on 
another computer), that leaves add--interactive, relink (which could be 
moved to contrib/ AFAIAC) and send-email.

I use "add -e" instead of "add -i", and stay away from send-email...

Ciao,
