in reply to Trimming the Perl Library

You can always:

  1. Remove everything
  2. Try and run your program(s)
  3. See what it complains about, and add that
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as necessary :)

You also probably can immediately cut out any .h (C header) header files if you won't be compiling new modules on the system in question.

    There seems to be a lot of redundancies in the perl package as well as a LOT of .sos!!!
    It seems like I'll have to go with the weed out approach.
    I do have another question. On my distribution, I have a /5.6.0 directory and a /site_perl directory. They have many similar files and there s no readme saying the significance of either.
    thanks
