+# Perlless {#sec-perlless}
+
+::: {.warning}
+If you enable this profile, you will NOT be able to switch to a new
+configuration and thus you will not be able to rebuild your system with
+nixos-rebuild!
+:::
+
+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".
