It depends on how you define "standard". It's not in the core build of
Solaris, and although it's in one of the optional extra package sets,
no one in their right mind would do a full install on a production box.
Hence no perl. I do the same for production Linux boxen, too, but they
tend to include perl in the base install as a rule.
