- I was able to find a non-corrupt version on the net, can't remember
- where. I'll lha my copy and put it on wuarchive, if you'd like.

-
- I'm currently working on porting perl 4.0.1.7 patchlevel 33 (the most
- recent full distribution available). The base functionality is there and
- I've got it to where it passes about 70-80% of the test suite. But it
- still needs work...
-
- It will require 2.04 and most likely a hard disk to use effectively
- (because you'll want to install a set of unix work alike tools in
- addition to the 300K+ executable).
-
- I'm guessing 1 to 2 weeks before it's stable enough for GNR (General Net
- Release :^). I suppose I could do a SNBR (Special Netter Beta Release)
- in your case (if you run GCC 2.2.2 on your machine you can help debug!
- ;^) (GCC'ing perl requires *lots* of RAM, BTW. My 6Mb machine runs
- completely out of RAM if I try to compile it with the -O2 and 030/882
- switches.) Hopefully, another 4Mb which I'll be getting RSN will be
- enough :^)
-
- I when it gets to the GNR level I'm going to contact Larry Wall to see
- if we can get the Amiga stuff into the general perl distribution. It
- probably won't be hard since he's generally pretty cool about this kind
- of stuff (plus I've heard he owns an Amiga too :^).
