How to get older version of cygwin (need to install perl 5.8 - not 5.10)

I inherited some code at work that is dependent on a number of .pm that will
only run with perl 5.8.  I can not upgrade the pm's so must use perl 5.8.

I have cygwin installed but it will only let me install perl 5.10.1.  I want
to roll back to perl 5.8.  I tried ActiveState perl but it will not
recognize unix like paths and all the scripts would need to be changed.

If anyone out there has a built version / binary of perl 5.8 that will run
under cygwin, please zip up and forward (.exe and all dll's) that I would
need.
