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.xz. 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.

Also available as a download in .tar.gz and .tar.zst

ps. .tar.zst is compressed with zstandard/zstd, i wanted to try it out.

I'll start posting updates and other interesting things I'm planning to do with App::EvalServerAdvanced to make get feedback on how to make both projects more useful to everyone. I'm hoping I can turn App::EvalServerAdvanced into a more generalized ephemeral container system, that lets you securely and quickly spin up a container containing user content and perform an action on it.
