Best would be to fix Perl5 on that remote machine. But I understand that
it might not be possible when the remote machine is not under your control.

Tramp checks several properties of a remote machine during connection
setup, like the Perl binary to be used. Since Tramp 2.2.7, such
properties can be overwritten by own values - exactly what you need. You
might add the following into your .emacs after loading Tramp:

(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
             (list (regexp-quote "your.server.name") "perl" "/path/to/perl"))

You could either install Tramp 2.2.7 from its ftp archive, or you could
switch to the development version of Emacs, which contains Tramp 2.2.8-pre.
