However it might be a good idea. I just tested every major Unix distro, and some independent ones. These all come with Perl preinstalled: - Linux Mint - Debian - Ubuntu - Solus - Fedora - antiX - Arch - CentOS (based on Red Hat) - PCLinuxOS (based on Mandriva) - Puppy - Lubuntu - KDE neon - Xubuntu - Gentoo - 4MLinux - GeckoLinux (based on openSUSE) - KaOS - Tiny Core (based on Damn Small) - NixOS here are some major and independent distros that do not come with Perl preinstalled: - Slackware - FreeBSD - NuTyX (based on LFS) - Alpine - OpenBSD -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
