Unless we make cores themselves depend on those modules removed from cores.

If we simply remove the dual-life modules from cores, it will differs
FreeBSD-perl from other platforms and may confuse the users and the
perl developers. For example, some scripts get everything needed and
work well under perl 5.8.8 on Linux, but on FreeBSD they die due to
the missing dependencies, and users need to figure out that which ones
are missing and installed them separately.
