To avoid confusion, I'll reiterate: I do NOT want to see Perl become just another means of extending XEmacs. If Perl support is ever included to XEmacs distribution, I it support should be as separate a package as possible, so that bug reports and feature requests can go directly to the maintainer of that lump of code, and that it can be removed with little or no effort if the said maintainer loses his willingness to maintain it.
