Here is what we can see in binkd/mkfls/unix/binkd.spec:

%configure \
        --prefix=%{_prefix} \
        --sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
        --localstatedir=%{_localstatedir} \
        --with-proxy --with-ntlm --with-bwlim \
        --with-perl --with-zlib --with-bzip2

Since it is written --with-perl I suppose Perl is supported. But I did not
check it because I did not use Perl in binkd. You may check it yourself.

OK.
