Perl is used by the SuSE configuration scripts I believe.
Which ones is anyone's guess.

..as I tried to demonstrate in my previous email, "ldd"
shows you the dependencies.

The way to do this "properly" is to make statically linked
binaries of the things you need, that have dependencies
on libraries other than those in /lib. This may take
some work... 
No fundamental system program should have a dependency on
an X11 library, since X11 is optional anyway. If this
kind of dependency does exist then the person who created
such a dependency should be crucified, slowly.
