Hey Monks,

I've been a user of perl for many years, but always on a windows system using ActivePerl.

It is now my task to install Perl on the unix system, but with the smallest footprint possible. Basically Only installing the modules and dependancies that our application uses.

Forgive me if my unix ignorance show through, but I am at a complete loss, never doing this before.

I've been able to actually compile a full version of the latest stable version (yah for me!) using the standard method of: 
sh Configure
make
make test
make install

[download]
Now what would it take for me to create a custom install. I'm not looking for a complete solution or answer. Just to be pushed in the right direction, or maybe a link that can help me out.

Cheers!
