Looking again, it seems adduser itself does not actually depend on perl,
I suppose it only requires perl-base, which is essential.
Getting rid of perl-base sounds like a lot of work, as packages are free
to rely on its functionality without having to depend on it. So you'd
have to check a lot of packages.

Michael
