Perl (was: text equation

Hello Roger,

A simple search on hobbes.nmsu.edu finds the following:

In directory /pub/os2/dev/perl: 

 oraperl2.zip Oraperl, Oracle DBMS variant of Perl
 perl502b.zip Perl v5.02b, Language interpreter
 perl_aou.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Perl_ VIO executable (statically linked)
 perl_blb.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Tools to compile Perl modules
 perl_exc.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Perl VIO and PM executables (dynamically 
linked)
 perl_inf.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Perl manual in *.INF format
 perl_mam.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Manpages for Perl modules
 perl_man.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Manpages for Perl and utilities
 perl_mlb.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Main Perl library [More
 perl_pod.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Source for Perl documentation
 perl_sh.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Pdksh
 perl_ste.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Additional Perl modules
 perl_utl.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Executables for Perl utilities
 plinstal.zip PERL 5.00x for OS/2 - Data for installator
 sockperl.zip Perl 4 programming environment with Sockets

And I think you meant "tens of thousands" of OS/2 users  :)  Although we are 
fewer in number 
than the Windoze crowd, we are significantly happier with our choice of OS!  
And we'd be quite 
happy to welcome any recovering Windoze addicts back to the fold.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
