you described situation quite exactly.
Now I add my knowledge a bit.

http://perlce.sf.net is a bit outdated with two ways: its wiki become read-only due to site reorganization, and there are no fresh builds there.

But things are not fully stagnated, because development branch of Perl receives updates WRT 'wince' from time to time. Also, mailing list there still used a bit, so there are people who try doing a builds from time to time.
I hope "perlce" mailing list will be created soon at perl.org

As for newer build - perl588 could be built with few modification to perl source tree (changes did not got through maintenance release), so better approach is to use 5.8.2 version, or build your own - this is all doable, see for example this message from perlce ML archive

In the current development branch there were some reorganizations, but mostly things are the same.
So may be even better bet could be to build current development snapshot, it should go more smoothly.

Still, you can try existing binaries, just check your processor with http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/usewinemb/ce/supproc/default.aspx, and get proper binaries.

I am planning uploading newer binaries to perlce.sf.net within approximately a month.
But there are no build of perl/Tk for perl-5.8+ releases, because porting this monster is a great amount of work. perl/tk is available for perl 5.6, and there's no Unicode there.
So only Tcl/Tk-8.4+ (which is freely usable from perl) is available for WinCE platform.
