Second thought - you can't use Perl at all. By the time you want to run the
script (system shutdown), and depending on how you've got your system set
up, /usr may be unavailable (unmounted). If you've got everything on one
filesystem (the root), fine, but if Perl doesn't sit on the root FS, then
Perl's a non-starter.
