Re: Incoming directory status
Hi,
Umm, looking at the upstreams defaults, as well as the limited
case of my particular needs, I don't think that suid perl should be
bundled in by default. I realize that people _need_ suid perl, and
so it should be provided, but people should have the option for not
having it on the system too.
I need perl on my machine, but I don't want suid perl (for
security and disk space reasons) [I know suid perl is very careful;
paint me paranoid]
I think the current break up is fine.
