Hi all,

[ please Cc: me in replies, I'm not subscribed to this list ]

While read developpers handbook, I noticed that the tools-intro
part still references Perl as being part of the base system.  I
corrected this is the attached patch, and moved it just after the
ports collection mention.  I dare to add Python and Ruby as well
since they are both popular script langage nowadays.

Note that the patch is a little bit fat regarding of what it's
supposed to do, because I needed to redo line wrapping.

Regards,

       if you have never written programs on a &unix; platform before.
