This happens with most Perl "compilers", as they have to embed a large
part of the Perl interpreter into the binary.

Perhaps I'm missing the point - what's the problem with using a
standard distribution of Perl, like Strawberry or ActiveState?  If
you're doing much in the way of forensics with OSS tools, you are
eventually going to run into both Perl and Python scripts that are
really better off just using a native interpreter than creating
one-shot nonportable binaries.
