Hey, folks!

I would like to find a copy of perl for the Amiga of greater than 3.0pl18,
which is, I believe, the binary available on jpl-devvax.  Has anyone had
success building a later version?  Is one available for ftp anywhere?

I've been told that the patches to perl on jpl-devvax are pretty Manx-specific.
(I haven't actually spent much time looking at them, nor am I familiar with
Manx)  If I applied those patches to a later version of Perl (say, pl44 or 4.0)
on another compiler (say, DICE or gcc) how much beating would I have to do?

Thanks for any help,
