Perl has *some* support committed upstream. The maintainers pinged me a while ago to figure out if it was still working, so I took a look and fixed a few preprocessor bugs. Unobe looked at a couple more issues, and reported that it worked on 386, but on amd64 it crashed deep in the regex engine. I fixed a couple of small bugs, but eventually gave up. If there's actual interest in running perl, I think it's not so much debugging away from working, and the fixes are probably very upstreamable. The bigger problem is interest -- I don't have perl code I care to run, does anyone else here? ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf84d656c78bbda91-M9417df84bb09ac1eb3810b62 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
