This version of Perl5 passed 100% of the tests. It was built with a custom libc and a semi-modified gcc-2.7.2, which allowed Perl5 to include several POSIX and ANSI-C extensions not otherwise available. It is packaged up in binary form, ready to be installed under the /usr/local prefix, as /pub/gnu/perl5.002.tar.gz. One can also find additional GNU software packaged up under /pub/gnu/. Enjoy, --Craig -- We the willing, lead by the ungrateful, are doing the impossible with nothing. We have done so much, with so little, for so long that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
