If the version of vim you're using was compiled with dynamic links to
perl libraries (it was), then that vim binary requires perl libraries
to run. You'll either need to provide those libraries or build a vim
binary that is not linked in such a way.

No.

If you are willing and able to recompile vim, it can be built without
depending on perl. Some systems (Gentoo Portage) make this easy to do,
but if you're using a binary-based distribution, you'll need to set up
a build tool chain and do some manual work to build the program in such
a way as to eliminate this dependency.
