# Perlless {#sec-perlless}
Render your system completely perlless (i.e. without the perl interpreter). This
includes a mechanism so that your build fails if it contains a Nix store path
that references the string "perl".
Title: Perlless System Requirement
Summary
This section outlines the requirement to completely remove the Perl interpreter from the system. It also specifies that the build process must be configured to fail if any Nix store path references the string "perl", ensuring the system remains free of Perl.
