If you insist on this approach, you can get the source at
http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/src/unsupported/4.036/
^^^^^^^^^^^
If you can't get it to compile don't expect any help. Mind you, I would be
confident that it will compile on Linux/gcc straight out of the tarball.
Running scripts with the -w switch will winkle out any questionable coding
practices. We'll be happy to advise on how to bring a broken Perl4 script
into the Perl5 world.
