There are a few perl5 scripts in our development process:
{{{
[1099]$ git grep /usr/bin/perl
[...]
contrib/or-tools/checksocks.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
scripts/coccinelle/test-operator-cleanup:#!/usr/bin/perl -w -p -i
scripts/codegen/gen_linux_syscalls.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
scripts/maint/checkLogs.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
scripts/maint/checkOptionDocs.pl.in:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
scripts/maint/checkSpace.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl
scripts/maint/check_config_macros.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl -w
scripts/maint/findMergedChanges.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl
scripts/maint/updateCopyright.pl:#!/usr/bin/perl -i -w -p
scripts/test/cov-exclude:#!/usr/bin/perl -p -i
}}}
We could do any of the following:
* Declare that perl5 is lovely and we don't care.
* Declare that perl5 is ugly but not really a problem.
* Declare that we will no longer require perl, and migrate all of these
scripts to python and/or bash+sed+awk+etc
* Declare that we will only allow perl as a "better sed/awk", and
migrate all of the more complex scripts to python and/or bash+sed+awk, but
leaves the others asd perl.
I am excluding these possibilities, but the imp of the perverse demands
that I mention them:
* Migrate to perl6 ^W raku
