Here's the current status of what-still-needs-perl-in-DragonFly-AFAICT:
* src/usr.sbin/spkrtest/spkrtest.pl --> usr/bin/spkrtest
Not relevant to us, as systimers preclude using the speaker.
Maybe we should just trash (or convert to using soundcard)
all of the speaker-related things in base (incl. some games.)
* src/usr.sbin/route6d/misc/chkrt --> not installed
Not installed, therefore not a problem?
* src/usr.bin/sockstat/sockstat.pl --> usr/bin/sockstat
Hiten Pandya has a DragonFly-ized version of this (in C) in the works.
* src/usr.sbin/setkey/scriptdump.pl --> usr/sbin/scriptdump
A script from KAME - it looks like it hasn't changed in FreeBSD 5
(perhaps it's not installed by FreeBSD 5? or FreeBSD 5 installs
perl scripts even though it doesn't install perl??)
* src/contrib/groff/contrib/mm/mmroff.pl -> usr/bin/mmroff
* src/contrib/groff/src/utils/afmtodit/afmtodit.pl -> usr/bin/afmtodit
From the groff contrib. If they're not critical, we can probably
handle these scripts by simply not installing them.
