Vmware Tools and pfSense

Hello,

I'm planning to get pfSense running inside vmware, so to have routing and 
firewall functions within the hosts attached to the internal virtual switches.
However, as far as I got to know, 10 Mbps functionality only would be 
obtainable out of the interfaces of the virtual machines, unless Vmware Tools 
are properly installed into the guest operating system, along with the benefit 
of 100 Mbps speed.  For such reason, I thought to add Vmware Tools to the VM 
hosting the pfSense software but, unfortunately, the pfSense installation image 
does not come with a suitable perl interpreter, as required by the Vmware Tools 
installation process.


Thank you for any hint on this subject, pfSense installation image shipped in 
the future with a perl interpreter bundled altogether perhaps?

Best regards
