You can set the kickstart post-install interpreter to be any available
binary by declaring that section with "%post --interpreter <cmd>".  It
runs in a chroot environment, so /usr/bin/perl would be fine, for
example.  Alternately you could write a series of scripts, "curl" them
from a webserver based on some logic, and execute.  Possibilities
abound.
