+Perl is a high-level programming language with an eclectic heritage
+written by Larry Wall and a cast of thousands. It derives from the
+ubiquitous C programming language and to a lesser extent from sed, awk,
+the Unix shell, and at least a dozen other tools and languages. Perl's
+process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly
+well-suited for tasks involving quick prototyping, system utilities,
+software tools, system management tasks, database access, graphical
+programming, networking, and world wide web programming. These strengths
+make it especially popular with system administrators and CGI script
+authors, but mathematicians, geneticists, journalists, and even managers
+also use Perl. Maybe you should, too.
+
+This package is contains the Perl DynaLoader built as relocatable shared
+object.
