Re: texlive-collection-basic requires Perl to be removed

[Jordan Geoghegan <jgeoghegan60@gmail.com>]

I am writing this from an OpenBSD machine. I can indeed confirm that 
Perl is in the base sytem. Those pages you reference don't show every 
program in the base system, they merely show the install file sets. You 
obviously have little experience with *BSD, please don't trumpet 
misinformation if you don't know what you're talking about.

Cheers,
