You may not have found the MacTeX mailing list at

As I understand it, perl may be obtained from CPAN just as TeXLive may 
be obtained from CTAN.

Are you referring to TeXLive? The distribution that includes tlmgr.

MacTeX that comes with TeXLive also has its own package manager.

CTAN has both. Not sure what you mean.
