    locate delta.pod | perl -nle 'print m/perl(5\d+)delta/' | sort | uniq

    :)

    above answers ++; but the question is NOT unambiguous. IMO, a plausible alternate meaning is:
    "How can I obtain copies of __(name)_'s perl versions 5.n.n to 5.n+?"
    as OP might conceivably be interested in testing compatibility.

    Hint to OP: If this was your intent, update to mention your desired OS, any preference on (name) -- eg, ActiveState, Vanilla,....

    Partial Answer: Some vendors/suppliers maintain availability of versions which were released prior to the current version. Check.
