I'm willing to create proposal patches for any packages on the livecd

Seems non-trivial.
Also, the live image is supposed to be a comparable experience to a
normal install. Removing something as integral as perl runs pretty
counter to that goal.
And I'm saying that perl is not necessarily an integral part of a desktop
install. Quite a few of these deps are probably from little utility scripts
which hardly get used ever. If you're right and it ends up that one needs to
remove crucial parts / functionality we will find out soon enough.
