Hello, Monks.

I've seen quite a few questions in SOPW related to creating, or working with Perl installs of Reduced size. The thought occurred to me, that maybe there was some potential to something in the Minimal::Perl | Perl::Minimal namespace on the CPAN.

But maybe not. I can see where there is great diversity needed to satisfy the needs of every-wants-a-smaller-version-of-perl project.

Maybe so. But maybe there is some "common ground". Some RE of "features" that would only require some small subset of Modules to complete the scheme for any given project.
In other words; some small subset of Modules only needed to be added to the Minimal-Perl.

Anyway. I thought this topic had merit, and thought it'd be wonderful to get some feedback on the concept, from everyone.

Thanks for taking the time.

UPDATE: added some clarity.
