You probably want to avoid his in an embedded system...

Sure. This is trivial. Perl configures and builds just fine, assuming
you have enough time, memory and swap space.

No RPM, sorry.

Just follow the standard instructions for configuring and building
Perl (in native mode, of course). I did this several times before,
without any problems. You have to be patient, though, It's a huge
amount of code, and definitely takes a lot of time to compile.
