========================
perl - Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
perl-base - The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
perl-modules - Core Perl modules.
perl-doc - Perl documentation.
perl-debug - Debug-enabled Perl interpreter.
libperl5.18 - Shared Perl library.
libperl-dev - Perl library: development files.
libcgi-fast-perl - CGI::Fast Perl module.
To provide a minimal working perl, the ``perl-base'' package provides
the /usr/bin/perl binary plus a basic set of libraries.
The remainder of the application is included in the perl, perl-modules
and perl-doc packages.
libcgi-fast-perl has been split from -modules as it depends on
libfcgi-perl.
See the 'README.source' file in the perl source package for information
on building the package.
perl-suid removed
=================
suidperl was removed upstream with 5.12, so the perl-suid package which
used to be distributed in Debian has been removed too. Possible alternatives
include using a simple setuid C wrapper to execute a perl script from a
hard-coded location, or using a more general tool like sudo.
