Perl is one of the easiest programs to compile. Larry and his group have
done an incredible job of making it available to all Unices. I usually 
remake perl, because its not configured the way I want it (setuid perl
scripts). 

Grab the perl distribution, unzip and untar, run ./Configure in the
base dir, then make. Piece of cake.
