You can find the file here, [https://perlbot.pl/bstatic/newoldperls.tar.zst](https://perlbot.pl/bstatic/newoldperls.tar.zst). +They're all expecting to live in /langs/ on a modernish linux system. That's actually a /langs +directory on the root filesystem. This was done to make getting them to work in the sandbox for the pastebin much easier. + +ps. .tar.zst is compressed with zstandard/zstd, it made this file smaller than the other alternatives and I wanted to try it out.
