DAL 1.2: How to Get Listener Module for VMS 5.4

I am planning to upgrade our VAXCluster to VMS 5.4 and need a copy of the DAL listener module that supports the 5.4 password hashing algorithm. Does the DAL package that ships with PATHWORKS for Macintosh from DEC support 5.4? Or do I need a new listener? How do get a copy of the module?
Note: Earlier versions of DAL were referred to as CL/1.

There is a compatibility problem with the new VMS 5.4 release and the CL/1 1.0 and 1.1 VAX/VMS servers. Due to changes in VMS password authentification in VMS 5.4, AppleTalk connections fail when made to the earlier versions of VAX/VMS Server (CL/1 Servers 1.0 and 1.1) running on a VMS 5.4 system. This is a problem with AppleTalk connections only; asynchronous connections do work. There is no workaround for the 1.0 and 1.1 versions.

DAL 1.2 is compatible with VAX/VMS 5.1 through 5.3. Compatibility with VAX/VMS 5.4 is shown below.
