Greetings. NoooooooOOOOoooooo! Perl is a pig.... the lynx binary is, what,
600kb stripped? Perl binary is 550KB stripped (5003) AND, then, on top
of that, what will it be WITH all the libraries needed to "fake" a
browser... 1MB... 

Oh, and don't forget all the problems we have NOW with sysadmins not
installing current'ish versions of lynx... imagine tying the fate of
lynx to perl... which I know some sysadmins personally hate... don't
ask.
