But, yes, it probably does make it more complicated if you don't require it. That said, I'm not sure how well/if nginx can handle Perl on it's own.
FWIW, nginx comes with an embedded Perl module a la mod_perl. It's discourage for regular workloads because it blocks the worker running the code and a long-running operation like a slow DB query would reduce the throughput of Nginx. That said I have seen people use it for things like minifying js/css on the fly. There is also this interesting slideshow (in Russian, but you'll get t the gist of it): http://www.slideshare.net/mayperl/perl-nginx
