Well, `vncserver` is a perlscript. So if you need to run the script, then
get perl.

But you don't need the script, it just starts `Xvnc` with some options and
then ~/.vnc/xstartup. If you read the scirpt, you can replay it at the
commandline or in a dedicate other script.

If `Xvnc -query localhost :2` gives something (at display :2 hence
`vncviewer solaris:2`) you can have a look at this setup:

perl.
