Just as a data point: I have Perl 4.036 installed on this VAX running
4.3BSD-Quasijarus, though I don't know Perl and don't use it myself.
(I installed it because something else needed it, don't remember what.)

As for the shell, I refuse to install any shell other than those than come
standard with 4.3BSD (original sh and csh). I personally use sh only.
That's right, the *original* Bourne Shell.
