If you are concerned about discrepancies with other BSDs, you should try
to get NetBSD (and maybe BSDi ? I don't follow BSDi...) to include perl
in their base distribution.

There are numerous discrepancies in some of our scripts with respect to theirs
(packages come to mind) that simply come from not having perl around, and 
being forced to make do with somewhat more unwieldy tools...
