I believe this is the crucial question.
To satisfy the request raised on p5p, it would have to install all
the core modules. But that would induce many accusation of bloat.
I disagree; if someone's after a generic perl environment, the so-called
bloat is a part of that. Somebody just wanting a bare-bones perl
interpreter could easily do "yum install /usr/bin/perl" to avoid the
bloat if that's what they wanted.
I guess it all boils down to "what is perl"?
