=== MidnightBSD, GhostBSD, HardenedBSD, and desktop BSD derivatives ===

Other BSD-family systems usually inherit their Perl approach from the system they are based on.

'''GhostBSD''' is a desktop-oriented system based on FreeBSD. Its Perl story generally follows FreeBSD: Perl and Perl modules are installed through packages rather than treated as part of the core base system.

'''HardenedBSD''' is also FreeBSD-derived. It focuses on security hardening, exploit mitigations, and related work. Its Perl handling likewise follows the FreeBSD ports/packages model, although package availability and build choices may vary depending on the HardenedBSD package repository and branch.

'''MidnightBSD''' was also originally derived from FreeBSD. It has its own ports-derived package system, but its Perl relationship is still broadly FreeBSD-like: Perl is managed as third-party software rather than as an OpenBSD-style base-system language.

These systems are historically interesting because they show FreeBSD’s influence. Once FreeBSD moved Perl out of base and into packages, FreeBSD-derived systems usually inherited that model.
