[opensuse] perl and opensuse

I am taking it that removing perl is bad ju-ju, as after removing it, my laptop is unresponsive to keyboard and trackpad operations. How do I recover fromsuch a monumental ****up? I would say “zipper in perl”, but I can’t even type, and even if I could, that would not reinstall all of the packages removed because perl was removed.
