Boy! I'm getting to make my quota of responses all in one day.
 
I ported perl 5.001 some time back and have been waiting for some
feedback from 'beta testers'. Jeff is going to put a copy on OPUS if he
hasn't already and I'll have a copy put on JAZZ when I submit my next
bunch of stuff to HP. In the mean time, you can pick up a copy at
ftp://ftp.orbitsw.com/hp3000/perl.mover.gz.
 
I wouldn't rely highly on the hints file for MPEiX. I found it
inadequate. However, the config.sh file you find in the distribution
should contain all you need to recompile it on your machine. Note that I
built this with gcc, so config.sh is built around that environment and
might need tuning to work with c89.
 
The file is a gzipped mover file, so you need both of those tools to
unpack it. It will build a local directory containing perl and its
dependent libraries. cd into that directory and do ./installperl to
install it.
 
Good luck!
