You could try the cygwin.com site looking for setup-legacy.exe

this is the old cygwin 1.5 setup still active but unsupported.  It may
contain the perl version you want.

No promised, I don't have 1.5 installed anymore, and dont have the
time to look in the archive for you, but thats where I'd start.
