  <description>perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language

Perl is a language optimized for scanning arbitrary text

files, extracting information from those text files, and

printing reports based on that information.  It's also a

good language for many system management tasks.  The

language is intended to be practical (easy to use,

efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant,

minimal).

Some of the modules available on CPAN can be found in the "perl" series.

Attention: due to security reasons we disabled the suid bit of

/usr/bin/suidperl.  If you need this feature, please add the following

line to /etc/permissions.local and run SuSEconfig.

/usr/bin/suidperl       root.root        4755
