OK, it may happen but look at
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/18/will-linux-distros-run-on-windows-10-s/
posted some time ago by George N. White III which says among others

Just because an "app" comes from the Windows Store does NOT
automatically mean that it's safe & suitable for running in Windows 10
S. There are some apps that are not allowed to run on Windows 10 S,
including all command-line apps, shells and Consoles.
...
And of specific interest to readers of this blog, Windows 10 S does
not run command-line applications, nor the Windows Console, Cmd /
PowerShell, or Linux/Bash/WSL instances since command-line apps run
outside the safe environment that protects Windows 10 S from malicious
/ misbehaving software...

So even if perl gets into MS Store, it will not work in the S mode.
