If you're not familar with grep and haven't figured out how to use 
Sherlock in Mac OS X, boot Mac OS 9 and use Sherlock in that to search 
for perl on the Mac OS X volume(s). You might find that both 5.006 and 
5.6 are in there, called perl5.6.0 or some such. I suppose you would 
invoke it on the shebang line with 

#!/usr/bin/perl5.6.0

or something like it.
