perl-cross provides configure script, top-level Makefile and some auxiliary files for perl,
with the primary emphasis on cross-compiling the source.

# Get perl and perl-cross sources
curl -L -O http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
curl -L -O https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/releases/download/1.1.3/perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz

# Unpack perl-cross over perl, overwriting Makefile
tar -zxf perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
cd perl-5.24.1
tar --strip-components=1 -zxf ../perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz

# Proceed as usual with most autoconfed packages
./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr -Duseshrplib
make -j4
make DESTDIR=/path/to/staging/dir install

Unlike mainline Perl, this configure never runs any target executables,
relying solely on compile/link tests and pre-defined hints.
On the flip side, it is only meant to run on resonably sane modern unix systems.

Check project pages for more info.
In particular, configure usage
lists available configure options.
