On that note, when distributing a Perl application via homebrew as I am
attempting to do here 
<https://github.com/project-renard/homebrew-project-renard>,
do you think it would be wise to build a version of Perl as a
dependency of the application?

That way there is no way that an application to could break if another
Perl version is installed/upgraded. The downside is that it takes up
more storage space. The PDL dev team takes a similar approach for
distributing PDL as SciPDL as a .dmg file.
