I found precompiled Perl in the archive you pointed to in this your post . It is compiled, but not statically linked. I unpacked archive debian-image_990822_tar.gz somewhere in /drive0, moved perl into path, and tried running it. As it complained about missing .so libs, I symlinked one by one into /lib (or was it /usr/lib?) - I could not remember how to list dynamic link libraries a program requires :-).
