|$ grep -rnwP '(inputs.* ._)' -A 20 gnu/packages/_.scm grep: Perl
matching not supported in a --disable-perl-regexp build ^ Expecting this
to work< but perl dependency is only defined for build-time and the
package lacks option to include Perl on demand |

This seems to happen with any "grep -D" on my side, similar to

$ echo AAA | grep -P AA
grep: Perl matching not supported in a --disable-perl-regexp build
$ echo AAA | grep AA
AAA

(in my case, trying out fasd in fish

Any hint for what's going on?
