Plus, alas, Perl modules and Python version drift can be a bit

The Perl used in core-git is pretty forgiving of older versions of Perl,
back to at least 5.6.  (Going back to 5.005.003 is rather painful,
however, to be honest.)

The only major tool I can think of that has embedded Perl in the shell
script is format-patch.  That could probably be redone in pure Perl if
it would help.
