Greetings, sundialsvc4, and thanks for the reply.

You almost had me. But then things seemed to take a turn towards the end.

I don't think it matters where "de-stabilizing" is concerned. Given Perl's vast knowledge of "dependencies". I think that point becomes moot. If I have installed this "Minimal Perl", and felt slighted, in some way. I think it's enough to simply Download, Build, and Install whatever I think I need. Perl, and/or the Module takes care of any "deficiencies" during the process. It's not unlike the FreeBSD ports system. You have a tree, CPAN in this case, of applications/utilities/functions. Grab one, build it, then install it. All the needs are AutoMagically delt with during the process. While there may, indeed be cases where those needs must be dealt with Manually. By virtue of that fact, perhaps improvements to the Module, to deal with those cases more efficiently/automatically, should be/could be made. Much of this, is already being addressed with cpanm, and the likes.

In my version of "Minimal Perl"; Perl will have just enough to "gather" what ever it needs, when asked to "Need" more.

Is this wrong?

Thanks again, for taking the time to respond, sundialsvc4.
