Can I install ssh-keygen only without all the sslopen (which again depends

whole deal with it's libraries and binaries to safe some space.

You can install ssh-keygen with only its supporting libraries ("ldd
ssh-keygen" will tell you what those are). ssh-keygen requires OpenSSL's
libcrypto, however whether or not that appears in the list will depend
on how you built OpenSSL. It will also need some system level stuff
such as an entropy source, which is usually /dev/random or /dev/urandom
on most modern systems. Just copy the binary and the libraries ldd
shows you and you should be good to go.

I believe OpenSSL requires Perl only at build time.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
