Blew my mind when I saw it to night.

I just opened an xterm and looked - No perl that I can find. Can you give us another hint?

To the best of my knowledge I didn't do anything to install it, it was just there

Could you please do the following in an xterm (as user, not root):
which perl
And then
dpkg -S <the output of the above, e.g. /usr/bin/perl if that was it>
Or just
dpkg -S `which perl`
(note backticks)
This will tell the name of the package it belongs to.

dpkg -S <the output of the above, e.g. /usr/bin/perl if that was it>

dpkg -S `which perl`
(note backticks)
This will tell the name of the package it belongs to.

Unfortunately that doesn't help, it doesn't tell which package perl is part of.
'which perl'
should tell where it is (e.g. /usr/bin/perl)
'dpkg -S' with that path (output of 'which perl' (no ticks))
will show which package it's part of.

It's /usr/bin/perl, but not part of any installed package according to dpkg on my N800.
