If the Perl version was available, yeah, that would make my ISO build processes easier Smiling face with smiling eyes...

We at Tails rely on isohybrid.pl for installing on OSX: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/mac/ Of course, this does not mean that the current syslinux team owes us to maintain it forever :) Would it help if someone with the needed Perl skills stepped up and volunteered to maintain the Perl version, at least to port bugfixes from the C version?

...d to maintain the Perl version, > at least to port bugfixes from the C version? I am willing to explain what is unclear about above options.
