Yes, I'm sure you're right.  But realistically, I'm not going to go to the work
of creating a separate lftp-examples package.  In fact I'm ignoring the problem,
which is probably common.  If I did anything about it, I'd probably manually
suppress the dependency on Perl, and ignore the case of someone who wanted to
run the sample scripts and didn't have Perl... a very small set.
