I did not ask about ports. I had because of basic system.
Not sure what you mean by this but Perl was removed from the base OS a couple of major versions ago.

Aha... I as forgot that about it... Excuse me. A question is taken off.

This is strange. I must be reading out-dated material or something. I gather that Perl was something that UNIX once was about with great respected and they drop it ... Why and for what?
 
Sorry about that question. I am searching info about Perl on this forum and I have a habit of reading from bottom to top or all searches. I guest Perl must have mess things up some where.

Still reading.
 
It has nothing to do with messing up. Perl is a third-party application which is no longer included in the base system. It can be installed as an add-on, using a package or a port.
