While I did know the .exe variant was not official / untrusted, I didn't know the official Perl and binary versions were out of sync in terms of features/bugfixes. If the Perl version cannot be maintained alongside the binary version (sadly I don't know any Perl to help with this), I agree with Geert that it should be removed or the differences clearly documented.
