What is perl?

[Marc Silver]

Hi there,

I may be wrong, but I always assumed that these man pages were part of the
Perl package themselves and as such, not maintained by FreeBSD-doc.

That said, since Perl has a reputation for performing any single task in
many different ways, it seems quite fitting that there is no one
explanation.  :)

Cheers,
Marc
