I'm trying to get a Perl binary onto me slab.

Of course, I can't compile it from the source, so that's out.

I don't think the binary is floating around anyhere on the net, at least I
didn't see it in the Purdue server index, and I've only got email access
to that.

So, I was wondering if some kind soul (silicon or carbon based, I've got no
preference :) would be willing to mail it to me or maybe be able to get 
it up to someplace on the uunet machine so I could UUCP down to my SCO 
box. Then I could DOSitize it to floppy, and drag it home that way.

I'm not real picky as to which version of Perl, just as long as it runs.
I couldn't tell you the difference between the versions anyhow.

The real goal here is to get something I can write little snippets -o-
code in without going through the fuss and bother of getting the C
compiler. I've been working in awk, but my general impression is that
perl is a little more general purpose than awk. 

Of course, I could be wrong.

Anyway, thanx in advance. 

Will
