CPAN/src/unsupported/4.0/README
This document describes the src/unsupported/4.0 subdirectory of the CPAN.
The directory contains sources for the Perl 4.0.
---
perl-4.036.tar.gz this is the one you want most probably.
NOTICE however that Perl 4 is effectively
unsupported. No bug reports will be accepted,
no fixes will be provided. Please migrate to
Perl 5.
CA-97.17.sperl Files relevant to the CERT Advisory CA-97.17,
fixsperl-0 a security problem found in 'suidperl' back in 1997.
fixsuid4-0.pat The problem was found both in Perl 4.036 (the final)
(and last) release of Perl 4 and in early versions
of Perl 5 (pre-5.003). The bug affects you only if
you use an executable called 'suidperl', not if you
use 'perl'. These files will help you in the
(very unlikely) case you need to use (the obsolete
and unsupported) Perl 4 or the early Perl 5s.
jperl sources for an old (4.019) port of Perl which
understands Japanese data, documentation in
