That split was indeed made to enable making it available for Base
packages, but that decision was never made I think.
It makes sense to me to add it to Base. Were there any objections when
that was proposed before?
Or is it supposed to be pulled by another Base program ?
Base packages should not pull in non-Base packages, but it appears
that info currently fails that requirement.
A lot of packages fail that requirement. I don't think it should be a
requirement. To me, Base packages are those that we've decided should
be in every Cygwin installation. If that forces other packages to be
installed, so be it.

I agree with Ken
The dependencies are very short
$ cygcheck-dep -q -R perl_base
perl_base: recursively requires ( cygwin libcrypt2 perl_autorebase
perl5_032 )
as perl_base provides perl5_032
