Is the suggested implementation approach of collecting symlinks in a single tree a reasonable one?

If it helps, why not? :)  In case you have a runnable program, you can dump the values in the %INC hash after all modules have been loaded. Those are the full paths to the actual modules used. Then, simply create a symlinks directory with that particular snapshot of modules, and put it in PERL5LIB (or make it the first/only directory in @INC).

Architecture specific parts would have to go in an auto subdirectory, as usual. To list those, use PERL_DL_DEBUG, e.g. 

$ PERL_DL_DEBUG=1 perl -MList::Util -e'print join"\n",sort values %INC
+'
...
DynaLoader::bootstrap for List::Util (auto/List/Util/Util.so)
