reducing perl-crashing scripts to a minimum reproducer

Inspired by C-Reduce, perl-reduce takes a perl program that causes a
bug in perl itself, such as a core-dump in the perl interpreter, and
tries to reduce the program to the minimum program needed to cause the
bug.

I didn't have much luck finding buggy scripts to test this with; you
guys are too clever at reducing scripts before you file bugs. I threw
in some useful features like taint and valgrind based on one of the
few examples that I did find.

Next time <someone> shows up with a 10,000 line crasher script and an
attitude, send <them> to me. jk
