[Buildroot] perl 'custom module selection'

[Ray Cordova]

Okay, thanks for the help. This clears things up somewhat, but I'm still a
little confused. I suppose it would be easier to run a post install script
to clean things up?

I only need perl for Shorewall. Here's what the docs say is required:

    Perl Cwd Module

    Perl File::Basename Module

    Perl File::Temp Module

    Perl Getopt::Long Module

    Perl Carp Module

    Perl FindBin Module

    Perl Scalar::Util Module

    Perl Digest::SHA1 Module (Shorewall 4.5 only)
