Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with over 24 years of development.
-- http://www.perl.org/

Perl History (http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html)

Code:
Version   State         Released
5.17.3    Devel 	2012-08-20
5.16.1    Maint 	2012-08-08
5.14.2    Maint 	2011-09-26
5.12.4    End of life 	2011-06-20
5.10.1    End of life 	2009-08-23
5.8.9     End of life 	2008-12-14
5.6.2     End of life 	2003-11-15
Version on Fremantle (PR.1.3) = 5.8.3-3osso13+0m5

Version now in extras-devel 5.16.1. Package name is perl-5.16.
*Vanilla from upstream (no patches from debian/ubuntu)
*Can coexist with old perl.
*Optifed (16MB download, 66MB installed).
*Contains full perl (no separate packages)
*Compiled with gcc-4.6 (because gcc-4.2 seg faults (maybe out of memory)), so only for ARMEL.

----

I run full perl testsuite straight on device (as I skipped it on autobuilder) and only one test fails (out of 1881 tests)
Code:
MANIFEST: t/op/magic.t                    See if magic variables work

Result:
op/magic.t .. 108/156 # Failed test 152 - altering $0 is effective (testing with `ps`) at op/magic.t line 638


magic.t:638:            ok(!$ps  
	       || ($^O eq 'freebsd' && $ps =~ m/^(?:perl: )?x(?: \(perl\))?$/),
		       'altering $0 is effective (testing with `ps`)');
Reason might be that my 'ps' is busybox. Or do you think this is fatal?
