title: New old perls
---
So as part of my own insanity I've managed to port/compile some old perl versions on linux and get the running in the eval sandbox.
Earlier today I completed this goal and there's now an available version of every major stable perl release: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.000, 5.001, 5.002, 5.003, 5.004, 5.005, 5.6, 5.8, 5.10, 5.12, 5.14, 5.16, 5.18, 5.20, 5.22, 5.24, and 5.26.
Now that I've completed this goal, I've decided to bundle up all the seriously old perls into an
easy to download file for anyone else who has decided to go a little insane and try out some
ancient perl. 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.
