I think Larry Wall's Perl plus Henk P. Penning's Jinx fit your bill really
well.  I built both on my 320 and they seem to work well so far.

Perl -> ftp prep.ai.mit.edu   cd /pub/gnu
Jinx -> ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl cd /pub/UNIX, get cterm package at the same 
        time as Jinx needs cterm to work.

One small but related question to fellow RS6000 users.  The Perl that I 
built (Perl 4.003) failed test 1 of groups test but passed every one else.
How is your experience?
