Unicode Perl Dependencies

All--
        I am having trouble tracking down some information which I was
hoping to get some help with.
        Our company has an embedded firewall device on which we run a
number of perl scripts.  We have a shrunken perl5 distribution which we
use to save flash space on our machines.  When trying to move to perl 5.8
I have encountered a large number of additional files which must be
included because of the Unicode support.  I am trying to figure out which
of the files I actually need.  The whole unicode tree is somewhere near
5MB which would be about 25% of our entire ditribution.  That's not
acceptable, so I'm trying to figure out which files we actually need from
that tree.  We will never use the Unicode support so if there is some way
to actually just remove (not that I've found so far), that would be
preferential.  Otherwise if someone has some information and/or advice on
how to track down which parts we do need, I'd be quite appreciative.
Thanks very much

Karl Matthias
