Cool!  Define "recent enough".  I'm afraid all I have for the MM/1 is
stuff circa '96-'97.  Are there more recent versions floating around as
compiled binaries?  [Checking rtsi.com...]  Ah, I see there's a 2.5.8 up
there.  I haven't been keeping up.

Have you used Perl much on a 68K machine?  What hardware do you have,
and what's the performance like?
