I've had a go. I have a partly-working perl on msdos, compiled under
Turbo C.
So far: no support for backtick, globbing or anything else that needs
"fork", but "system" is almost working.
Few other problems, except that "eval.c" needs the full 640K & non-
interactive compiler.

Size: about 270K. Is it worth it?
PS - have you seen "bawk". A funny little thing, about 25K.
