You didn't describe WHAT the utility does, which makes it hard to judge
whether it belongs in coreutils or some other package.
Can it be rewritten in C or must it remain a perl script? We don't have
any perl scripts in coreutils, and it's probably not a good idea to
require perl for something as low-level as coreutils.
Is it truly Linux-specific? If so, you're probably better off proposing
it for inclusion in util-linux,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/.

This disclaimer is not enforceable on publicly-archived lists; that
said, you may wish to use your own email rather than your employers when
sending further email so as to avoid having someone delete your email
without reading it because they don't trust the legalese disclaimer that
your employer spams us with.
