tragically, this is true.
g% perl -v
This is perl, version 5.005_02 built for plan9_386
...
g%
I don't remember how hard it was to get this compiled,
but I did get it to compile and subsequently lost the changes.
(I've still got the binary.) I looked at redoing the changes
in the new Perl (5.6.0?) and just didn't feel like going through
it since my need for Perl has gone away. I think the README
you point out dates from Perl 4. I've never been able to contact
the guy who did the Perl 4 port.
It wouldn't be that hard, I don't think.
