On my windows system, the perl executable is less than 2 MByte, but the whole of my perl-installation is almost 37,000 files in over 9,000 folders for about 1.5 Gbyte. It are the modules that will really add to the size.
If you want to run any perl-script, you will have to install all of CPAN otherwise there is no guarantee at all that you can run any script.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
