Try, info.rz.uni-ulm.de:/pub/VMS/misc/perl.exe-z info.rz.uni-ulm.de:/pub/VMS/misc/perl4.zip "perl.exe-z" is a gzipped binary which runs on VAX/VMS. "perl4.zip" is sources of perl-4.019 which was configured to compile on VMS. "perl4.zip" was easily compiled and works fine on my VAX/VMS! -- // Akihiko
