-
- Larry Wall can answer for himself, but I don't really think
- he "has something against 3B2s".... Personally I have 3 of them I'm
- responsible for and ALL of them have Perl 4 at patchlevel 35, so it
- CAN be done and it was no big deal. Granted the compile on the 400
- took a lot longer, but that has more to do with memory/horsepower than
- the fact that it is a 3B2!
-
- I can make the offer again...I replied to the original poster..
- I have the binaries...I don't mind sharing...but I'm not going to waste
- the bandwidth of every machine on the net for it. I can probably
- arrange to put it on an ftpable site if someone can arrange the permission
- to use their machine. Note because my machines have *my* way of doing
- things built in...you may have to create new directories to install
- everything in. For cultural/political reasons I have a non-standard bin
- directory for the binaries (and this will make a difference).
