[Bug] Claude generates Perl-dependent scripts on macOS despite Perl deprecation

Bug Description
opus writes simple scripts with perl dependency in macbook - apple will be deprecating tools like perl, tcl etc. - - So, to recap your question - perl was there purely as a hang-guard, because macOS has no timeout command. - Apple does ship perl (5.34.1, even on 26.5) — but it's been deprecated since Catalina (2019) and could vanish in a future macOS, so it was a poor long-term dependency for an automount script. - Now the timeout is pure shell builtins (sleep/kill/wait) — nothing to install, nothing deprecated, works on any macOS.>>>>
