I asked that perl get added to sustained list as it is needed in basesystem 
and if it is dispelled you can't do a sorcery rebuild. But i think at that 
time it wasn't in basesystem DEPENDS. 
Maybe we should remove it from sustained list and leave it in basesystem 
DEPENDS so a sorcery rebuild will find it not installed and cast it ?
That would fix this problem i think
jkolb, for now just remove perl from /var/lib/sorcery/sustained and then it 
will behave as you want it too.
