No comment, just lots of thanks!

I tried this, *twice*. Once way, way back when with Red Hat 6.x (not
RHEL 6.x, Red Hat 6.x, think back to around 2001). It was not pleasant
work, there are a *lot* of hidden dependencies. And once about 6 years
ago to to shrink and secure a CentOS build, along with ripping out gcc
and build tools.
It really wasn't pretty to watch, and I don't recommend burning your
timne on this. I wound up writing a lot of plugins to work around the
dependencies, and it rapidly exceeded the expense and time of just
installing perl.
