Good riddance! I moved on to Haskell a long time ago.

I wonder if I can't make my system Perl-free, just uninstalled vim (kept vi, which is just compiled with normal intead of big) which let me remove Ruby and dropped one program depending on Perl.
Hooray for FreeBSD -- Perl was removed from the base distribution a long time ago (though a fuckton of external software packages, like vim, depend on the shit which means you end up installing it eventually).

I don't follow. You're not suggesting I'd install vim, are you?

Even if you prefer emacs, the truth is that emacs is being rewritten in PERL [1], so you'll need PERL one way or another.
