Try Fink:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/

Fink is a utility that helps load the latest opensource software on OS-X, including Perl 5.8.0

They describe it as:
" This differs from the Apple OS X 10.1 distribution of Perl 5.6.0 (and supporting fink libraries) in that it retains the perl version subdirectories in the lib tree. Without these, upgrading or downgrading Perl breaks all of the binary modules."

I think the reference to 5.6.0 is a typographical error - it describes the Fink version as 5.8.0 elseware on the same page.
