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.
Perl is pretty split out these days, so it shouldn't be that bad.
