I have thought about this a bit. There are Palms with 2 - 8 megs. Perl for the
Palm should be distributed in full. Configure should ask them what they want,
the default would be to get perl, important modules that could be practical for
the Palm ( POD included ) and perl*.pod documentation. Then this could be
synced to the Palm.

Perhaps Configure will ask you this in a particular mode, but default should
always be to install them.

rm them.
