Well, those are all things that are beyond the scope of what can be
done with a little eval.  And some are very difficult: they're
interdependent, and sometimes already written out to disk somewhere
or other.

I do not see an RFC about the matter, but people certainly have requested
to be able to have a "position independent" perl installation, one which
they can just copy and move to random places and things still work.  I do
not know the status of that want.
