the basic control and data structures, without the eval, file I/O, system commands, backticks, etc

You may want to have a look at microperl which was introduced as a new feature with Perl 5.7.0. This build incorporates the bootstrap feature of Perl which behaves similar to any other build of Perl, but does not incorporate Dynaloader XS module allowing the execution of C-based Perl modules or system specific functions providing you with a scaled down subset of perl which is perfect for hacking or porting.

If you are interested, there was an article on microperl written by Simon Cozens in Issue 19 of The Perl Journal here - This article has also been incorporated in the O'Reilly published "Computer Science and Perl Programming".

perl -le "print+unpack'N',pack'B32','00000000000000000000001010001101'"

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.
