Perl Packages for Debian
------------------------

perl - Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
perl-base - The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
perl-modules - Core Perl modules.
perl-doc - Perl documentation.
perl-debug - Debug-enabled Perl interpreter.
perl-suid - Runs setuid Perl scripts.
libperl5.6 - Shared Perl library.
libperl-dev - Perl library: development files.
libcgi-fast-perl - CGI::Fast Perl module.

To provide a minimal working perl, the ``perl-base'' package provides
the /usr/bin/perl binary plus a basic set of libraries.

The remainder of the application is included in the perl, perl-modules
and perl-doc packages.

libcgi-fast-perl has been split from -modules as it depends on
libfcgi-perl.
