Many perl scripts can be done just as well with a short piece of awk/sed. This makes it much easier for people who want to build minimal/small Fedora images because they don't unneccessarily bring in the entire of Perl just for a %post script. Not that I want to single out perl - the same rationale would apply to unneccessary use of python, if the use in question could be easily written in awk/sed.
