This is perl386 for MS-DOS systems built by using the DJGPP compiler.
It will only run on systems with a 386 or greater.
The perl version is 4 patchlevel 35.
The files that needed modifications in order for the build to succeed were:
makefile, config.h, perl.c, doio.c, toke.c
msdos/makefile.386, msdos/msdos.c, msdos/popen.c
My modifications were done by doing #ifdef DJGPP.
I also used the following public pieces of code to add some pieces
missing in MS-DOS and DJGPP.
glob (command line globbing), ufc (ultra fast crypt)
This kit contains all of the sources that needed modifications from the
original perl distribution, and the perl386.exe executable that has the
go32.exe (from DJGPP) prepended to it.
I have not run all of the tests and there are probably some features
missing in this perl. But it doesn't run out of memory like all of the
other MS-DOS versions of perl when running my large programs.

40MB internal HD, 200MB external HD, MS-DOS v3.3 and Japanese MS-DOS v3.1.
