what I hate about some distros...they take some core things out of a language and make it a separate package.

In this case it is the Perl module FindBin. It's core perl but for some reason it is not installed by default since it is a separate package....

I've had significantly worse starts to a day

And to name and shame this is Oracle Linux 9.

So presumably Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 is the actual culprit.

Also, perl docs are also a separate package. I can half see why you might but install them by default but it's one of Perl's super powers.

I know you might not want it on a host that just runs Perl programs, but what percentage is that? Is disk space really that tight?
