[OmniOS-discuss] perl : only for pkg tools?

[Theo Schlossnagle]

perl is likely to stay, but the perl shipped in core is for use by core.
 We can change configuration and the version at any time.

If you really want perl to power your app, you should consider building
your own perl.

See:
http://pkg.omniti.com/omniti-ms/
http://pkg.omniti.com/omniti-perl/

For how we do it at OmniTI.
