+This is a first ported perl for the POSIX subsystem in BS2000 VERSION
+'V121', OSD V3.1, POSIX Shell V03.1A55.  It may work on other
+versions, but that's the one we've tested it on.
+
+You may need the following GNU programs in order to install perl:
+
+gzip:
+
+We used version 1.2.4, which could be installed out of the box with
+one failure during 'make check'.
+
+bison:
+
+The yacc coming with BS2000 POSIX didn't work for us.  So we had to
+use bison.  We had to make a few changes to perl in order to use the
+pure (reentrant) parser of bison.  We used version 1.25, but we had to
+add a few changes due to EBCDIC.
+
+
+UNPACKING:
+==========
+
+To extract an ASCII tar archive on BS2000 POSIX you need an ASCII
+filesystem (we used the mountpoint /usr/local/ascii for this).  Now
+you extract the archive in the ASCII filesystem without I/O-conversion:
+
+cd /usr/local/ascii
+export IO_CONVERSION=NO
+gunzip < /usr/local/src/perl.tar.gz | pax -r
+
+You may ignore the error message for the first element of the archive
+(this doesn't look like a tar archive / skipping to next file...),
+it's only the directory which will be made anyway.
+
+After extracting the archive you copy the whole directory tree to your
+EBCDIC filesystem.  This time you use I/O-conversion:
+
+cd /usr/local/src
+IO_CONVERSION=YES
+cp -r /usr/local/ascii/perl5.005_02 ./
+
+
+COMPILING:
+==========
+
+There is a "hints" file for posix-bc that specifies the correct values
+for most things.  The major problem is (of course) the EBCDIC character
+set.
+
+Configure did everything except the perl parser.
+
+Because of our problems with the native yacc we used GNU bison to
+generate a pure (=reentrant) parser for perly.y:
+
+echo %pure_parser > /tmp/perly.y
+cat perly.y >> /tmp/perly.y
+/usr/local/bin/bison --yacc -d perly.y
+cp y.tab.c perly.c
+cp y.tab.h perly.h
+
+We still used the normal yacc for a2p.y though!!!
+ 
+We build perl using GNU make, but it should compile with the native
+make too.
+
+
+TESTING:
+========
+
+We still got a few errors during 'make test'.  Most of them are the
+result of using bison.  Bison prints 'parser error' instead of 'syntax
+error', so we may ignore them.  One error in the test op/regexp (and
+op/regexp_noamp) seems a bit critical, the result was an 'Out of
+memory' (core dump with op/regexp_noamp).  The following list shows
+our errors, your results may differ:
+
+comp/require........FAILED test 3
+op/misc.............FAILED tests 45-46
+op/pack.............FAILED tests 58-60
+op/regexp...........FAILED tests 402-485      (Out of memory!)
+op/regexp_noamp.....FAILED tests 402-485      (core dump)
+op/taint............FAILED test 73
+pragma/overload.....FAILED tests 152-153, 170-171
+pragma/subs.........FAILED tests 1-2
+lib/cgi-html........dubious, FAILED tests 1-17 (ALL)
+lib/complex.........FAILED tests 264, 484
+lib/dumper..........FAILED tests MANY
+lib/errno...........dubious                   (Errno.pm not found?)
+lib/searchdict......FAILED tests 1-2
+Failed 13/186 test scripts, 93.01% okay. 224/6242 subtests failed, 96.41%
+okay.
+
+
+INSTALLING:
+===========
+
+We have no nroff on BS2000 POSIX (yet), so we ignored any errors while
+installing the documentation.
+
+
+USING PERL:
+===========
+
+BS2000 POSIX doesn't support the shebang notation
+('#!/usr/local/bin/perl'), so you have to use the following lines
+instead:
+
+: # use perl
+    eval 'exec /usr/local/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
+        if $running_under_some_shell;
