`tr' is part of the GNU Textutils package. You should be able to find it
in v2gnu/txt122b.zip package on the DJGPP sites.
Note that you will probably need to download a lot more packages to
build Perl. I would expect some README file in the Perl distribution
to tell you which packages do you need.
Btw, why are you trying to compile Perl on your own? A pre-compiled
binary distribution of Perl is already available in the v2gnu directory.
