Well, you could kick out all the documentation and probably most modules. The list below is probably a good starting list of modules you'll need:

perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -MFile::Copy -mFile::Path -e'print "$_\n" for
+ sort keys %INC'
Carp.pm
Config.pm
Exporter.pm
File/Basename.pm
File/Copy.pm
File/Path.pm
File/Spec.pm
File/Spec/Unix.pm
re.pm
strict.pm
vars.pm
warnings.pm
warnings/register.pm

Also, as far as I know the "architecture" is the architecture your perl is build for, not the arch it was build on. That probably means you can't reliably run i686 perl on i586 at all. You might want to build a 486 perl if you're concerned about portability.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
