Actually, that's debatable, as it could just as easily be perl emerged with 
the minimal flag - which is part of the mental debate I have - is it worth 
it? if so, is it worth it as a separate ebuild that would need to be 
maintained in parallel, or as just a use flag invoked version of the current 
ebuild? The heart of the difference in the two installs lies in what core 
perl modules are installed.

(fwiw, miniperl is something else entirely - it's what perl uses to bootstrap 
itself)
