I think really this question should be asked on perl5-porters

Cross-compiling perl is somewhat experimental. I'm not sure if anyone on
perl5-porters, the main development list is actively cross-compiling.
I'm unaware of any documents outside the source tree.
Perl builds just fine on ARM natively (see the example configuration in
Porting/config.sh) but I realise that for that you need to have native gcc
and other parts of the toolchain. You may find it easier to go that route.
(And no, I'm not joking here, as I am assuming that all GNU tools, even
gcc, are much better set up to be cross compiled than Perl is, given that
they all have configuration options for --host, --build and --target)
