But... Does it have perl support, can you use perl-hooks, and perl-var in the
configuration? That's the specific issue I'm trying to solve? I'm not using the
specifically bundled .spec file as it's incomplete, mine is a bit more
thorough, but I'll be providing some it soon enough when it's ready, if people
want. :)
