tigervnc-server is required by anaconda which is needed to do installs
from live media. So just leaving out a package isn't going to work.
I still test to see if getting rid of anaconda keeps perl from getting
pulled in, but one of the two dependencies will need to be managed to
get perl off the live images.
Removing anaconda prevented perl from being dragged in. (Also I had removed
nautilus-sendto to avoid a dependency problem, but that probably doesn't
depend on perl.)
