Perl 5.6.1 is a bit cranky about installing on Mac OS X, but there are
various tips for doing so located here:

  http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00150.html
  http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00895.html
  http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html

I haven't tried any of them, so I can't vouch for them.

Perl 5.8.0, due to be out within the next couple of months, apparently will
install as-is on Mac OS X, but I haven't installed any of the development
versions and thus cannot attest to the validity of the claim.
