Would you consider adding perl support?

This would allow me to capture my linked containers' IP addresses using something like perl_set $ghost 'sub { return $ENV{"GHOST_PORT_2368_TCP_ADDR"}; }';, which I can then use in upstream/server placement.

Perl support would be great. Do you know if this would adversely affect the size of the image or complexity of the build? Does upstream recommend enabling perl support by default? We would definitely not be opposed to a pull request if this is the desire of nginx users.

@yosifkit: Please see comments in #2. I don't know if upstream recommends enabling support by default, I know it's an optional component. I don't know of any security risks by having it enabled.

Sounds good to me - Perl is nice. :)
