I don't know if this has been done, but I have the latest version
of Perl I could find (4.036?) compiled for NetBSD (it does alot of
accessing the db files).  If I knew where I could upload it, I would.
In addition, same thing goes for bash and ghostsscript.
Caveat:  I haven't gotten that crazy XFree86-1.3u1 to work yet,
so I haven't tested out ghostscript.  I'd have it print to my HP LJ-2,
but it doesn't seem to want to.
