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. +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.
