none of the shipped apps use that perl module atm. 
with which app or system function does it cause problems (the app should
perhaps ship the needed modules in its click package then) ?

shipping all of perl would eat 17MB extra space on the image. adding so
much to it requires a very serious justification of something shipped in
the image actually hard requiring it. the perl-base package is enough to
fulfil all dependencies currently.
