After tinkering, I cam to the realization that 5.9 does not add any new Perl functions that weren't added in the 7/31 release of 5.7 DR6, so if you simply replace the following in 5.9 with the proper files from the 7/31 5.7 DR6 source, you can have full Perl functionality!

parser.cpp
parser.h
embparser.cpp
embparser.h
embperl.cpp
embperl.h
embxs.cpp
embxs.h

For those of you who do not have the 5.7 files still, I will post a small patcher on my website with the ones listed, just replace, compile, and enjoy Perl!
