=== Legacy === Perl’s FreeBSD legacy is one of practical Unix usefulness balanced against operating-system discipline. Perl was useful enough to be part of early FreeBSD, powerful enough to shape administrative and development workflows, and important enough to receive dedicated ports-framework support after removal from base. Today Perl remains deeply available on FreeBSD through packages and ports. The `perl5` category, `p5-*` module naming convention, `USES=perl5`, `USE_PERL5`, and FreeBSD’s Perl-aware ports infrastructure all show that Perl is still supported seriously. At the same time, the base system no longer assumes Perl. That is the central lesson of FreeBSD’s Perl history: Perl remains a powerful tool for FreeBSD users and developers, but FreeBSD deliberately keeps the core operating system independent from it.
