Depends on how much trimmed down is still acceptable.

Flavio Glock's perlito project is realizing a portable "subset of Perl" implementation which targets JavaScript, Perl 6 and Java engine.

I don't see a reason yet why Lua couldn't be added.

It's also unclear for me if the Perl compiler also needs to be fitted into the 256k.

Executing a cross compiled OP tree (excluding all eval variants) might be sufficient.
