Hooray! A post that isn't "why blah blah Matrox blah blah blah"!
Anyway, perl5 ships with BSD/OS 2.1 ("perl version 5.001 unofficial patch-
level 1m" according to "perl5 -v"). I believe BSDI ships the sources to the
/usr/contrib tree on binary-only kits (I'm not sure as I have a source kit)
in case you want to make changes, apply patches, or just see how they got it
to build.
