Perl, libc, 100 modules - all in one self-contained 500kb executable.
App::Staticperl installs a helper script that allows you to install a statically linked (or linkable) perl distribution, install additional modules, and create new perl interpreters with just the selection of modules you need. It is also possible to just create the C source files needed to embed this custom interpreter into your own programs.
Two pre-built perl binaries (for Linux on x86 or amd64) which include some highly subjective package selections are available as smallperl and bigperl.| CPAN | File Releases (CPAN) |
