I followed the instructions at:

and that installation yielded a vim without perl support. After looking at:

It seems like adding several flags shouldn't be that hard; I could even
imagine
that recipe files have already been written for this. Any recommendations?
I don't use A-A-P; I compile make as a distinct step, and it has (since before
Vim 7 alpha even existed) allowed me to compile Vim versions with all four of
perl, python, ruby and TCL together. Of course you need the required
interpreter(s) installed on your system (with "development" packages if
compiling on Linux).
See my "howto" pages at:
- for Unix/Linux: http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
- for Windows: http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
I believe you should be able to get inspiration from them to get your Vim
source upgrades by A-A-P (or otherwise) and compile Vim manually with
whichever features you want, including interpreted languages if you want them.
For Windows, see also
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721
where Steve Hall keeps precompiled Vim distributions with periodic upgrades:
as I'm writing this, the latest patchlevel there is 7.0.215. Although this
page is part of the "Cream (for Vim)" project, the distributions on this
particular page are plain-vanilla vim/gvim with all "standard" runtime files
but without Vim. The ":version" text for its gvim 7.0.215 is at
https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=43866&release_id=492211
It includes (among others) +mzscheme/dyn +perl/dyn +python/dyn +ruby/dyn +tcl/dyn.
Best regards,
Tony.
