Nah, I actually thought about that, too, but as you can see in the
command I qouted (i.e. perl "-MExtUtils::Manifest=fullcheck" -e fullcheck)
it uses ExtUtils::Manifest, which is not in perl-base.
OTOH perl is indirectly build-essential via dpkg-dev, so it doesn't
really matter, I'm just wondering whether anyone ever actually thought
about that.
