Since perl-5.8.2 for Cygwin was released in 2003 the chances are good that every user of Cygwin has it in the local repository, it isn't offered by Setup, but old packages are not deleted automatically, have you looked in your local repository? If you find the tarballthere, just extract it from the Cygwin root (not the recommended way, but currently the only way to install more than one perl at the same time). If this fails you can try to find a mirror where it is still available (a mirror which was not updated at least the last few weeks), then you may try to find it at ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/release/perl where I'm currently uploading.
