Then what is the cost to anyone to add perl to that list? You don't
have to have it
on your machine. The user has to provide the third party library -- if
they want
any of the languages {ruby, perl, python{2,3},lua}, then they can supply
the 3rd
party libs.

So what extra cost is it to you to *allow* a 3rd party lib to be
loaded. I.e.
it's not that you are providing these languages but are deciding what
languages people
can supply at runtime to use with it. You decided to disallow perl
because it isn't
trendy enough?

What do you have against perl? Since the cost of the hooks are
negligible, what
possible reason could you have for NOT **allowing** the user to use the
library
that they provide -- same as for python, lua and ruby?
