   How about perl?  It is Public Domain and runs on Vaxens, Suns (all kinds),
   386 machines and a few other assorted variety.  If you haven't used
   perl, I would be happy to send a brief description.

   Since it is an interpretive language, with much resemblance to C, sed, awk
   and sh, it would be a good test of success/failure of compiler optimzations.
