if you really want perl for android, get the tar.gz from here http://corion.net/perl-andr-oid/
it seems to be the full perl distribution, but you can just grab the binary, that alone is more than enough for most
you have to manually extract the binary, copy it to /system/xbin and chmod 755
im on 5.1.1 and used twrp to copy
after you extract the tar the binary is /perl/bin/perl5.22
i dont know how to make a flashable zip
the only other working perl binaries for android, that i know of, were 5.20 from sl4a (wich i believe was posted here before as a flashable zip), one from zshaolin, and 5.7 from tinyutils
5.20 doesent work on android>5 cause of pie (position independent executables) security enforcement
5.7 works but its too old, from the year 2000
this one works on android>5 and is twice as fast as 5.7 (on my samsung galaxy s5 g901f at calculating prime numbers smaller than 100,000)
