You could install some major releases with different executables, and let them show you if they can compile your script:

  # just to get the idea ...

  $ ls /usr/local/bin/perl
  perl-5.004
  perl-5.005
  perl-5.006
  perl-5.008
  $ for i in /usr/local/bin/perl/* ; do "$i" -c yourscript.pl ; done
