I've been trying to cross compile Perl for a PPC440 board and it just
isn't happening.  Perl is probably the least amenable application to
cross compiling I've found.

I tried the instructions in the Cross/ directory of the Perl distro but
they don't work - "sh Configure" fails on my target because it expects a
full C development environment, which won't fit.

Is there any easy solution?  Can someone send me a binary?

Configure and make perl natively on your target platform. I have done it 
some time ago with the ELDK.
