"without any file system access" doesn't sound plausible to me.  Perl
relies on loading scripts and libraries (even pragmas) from the file
system. You could theoretically make a highly customized fork that didn't,
but I doubt it would be very useful.

Disabling certain extensions at configuration time is covered in the
INSTALL document at the top level of the source repository.  See:

<http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/INSTALL#l1004>
