[pca] new "pkgdep" command

[Glenn Satchell]

Sun's /usr/bin/perl is a symlink, so restoring that is easy.

ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          23 Feb 17  2005 /usr/bin/perl -> 
../perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl

There are lots of "system" things now using /usr/bin/perl and expecting 
the Sun modules, etc, to be in place, so you should restore that 
symlink, and use something like /opt/perl/bin/perl for scripts that you 
want to use your version of perl.

BTW pkgdep looks pretty useful.
