Assuming perl is actually installed, the world seems to shift to python.
On a minimal fedora install python is present but perl is not ...

On the other hand git depends on perl, so it is probably pretty hard to
find a developer workstation without perl installed, so maybe that
doesn't matter much for the time being.

take care,
