perl on xfce live

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings. 

In the past we have had perl on the Xfce live media due to a dep in exo
(it has a helper script that is written in perl). 

Seth has kindly re-written this script in python: 
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9964

So, that removes the perl dep from exo. 

However, there are still some more. Here's a f19 nightly with the new exo:

Transaction Summary
================================================================================
Remove  1 Package (+27 Dependent packages)

Installed size: 131 M

So, it saves us 131MB, at the cost of xfce4-sensors-plugin, icedtea-web, foomatic and openvpn.

So, we could just do this now. 

Or we could try and get the perl dep fixed up in those above that we care about. 

Or we could just not bother. ;)

Thoughts?
