5.6.1 is the current 'stable' release - you
can download it from
http://www.cpan.org/src/index.html
read down to Mail Files - grab it as
http://www.cpan.org/src/stable.tar.gz
and build the release...
If you do not have a compiler - there are a variety of work arounds
where you play with the binary only releases - cf
http://www.cpan.org/ports/index.html

NOTE: I DO NOT ADVOCATE BINARY ONLY RELEASES - I merely
acknowledge that in 'unNatural' - tantamount to 'evil' cases
users are working on systems without compilers as their 'working
environment' - rather than leaving those 'mutant' types of 'production
server' boxes chained up in the dark closet where they will not be
able to scare people....
WARNING: Computers without Compilers have been known
to attack people after failing a Sanity Check or
saving throw against magic. Do not leave such computers
out where they can gain access to children or shrubbery....
