Are you looking for perl the language, or the compiler backend for perl? For perl itself, you can grab the source off of a number of FTP sites around the world, or get it via the web at http://cpan.perl.org/src/latest.tar.gz (or http://cpan.perl.org/src/latest.zip). It's the source for perl 5.005_02, and should build without a problem. If you're looking for a prebuilt version, I keep some on ftp://ftp.sidhe.org (or http://www.sidhe.org/misc). The VMS version and CPU architecture are encoded in the file names. If you really want the compiler for perl, youre probably best off installing 5.005_02, as the latest (but still alpha) version is included in there.
