This is a Perl 4.0.36 compiled for MSDOS with Borland C 3.1.
It is an overlayed executable meaning that it can use a little more
memory a little slower. 
It uses a lot of memory, though; you cannot run it inside System Manager.
Running it from DOS (SysManager closed) leaves about 200K memory
for use.

I have added SDBM support (from Perl5 sources). This way you can save
and load hashes to files. Use dbmopen etc. commands (perl.man).

I also added most of the PAL functionality, see palperl.txt for 
documentation.

Hope you find this useful, fun, annoying, what ever ;)
