You can find perl 5.22 in experimental, and the even more experimental
(amd64 only at the moment) rebuild repository which might also be
needed to rebuild some packages at:

https://people.debian.org/~dom/perl/test/perl-5.22.0/setup.sh
https://people.debian.org/~dom/perl/test/perl-5.22.0/setup.sh.asc

Note that I strongly recommend not adding this repository to anything
other than a throwaway system/chroot.

This bug will become release critical nearer the time of the perl 5.22
migration.

Cheers,
Dominic.
