G'day

I'm running a W95 machine and I'd like to run simple third-party Perl
scripts in MS DOS mode. I know of the existence of BigPerl for DOS
but I can't find it anywhere. All the URLs I can find seem to be
pointing to Peugeots and Unimogs. The Wayback Machine was no help
either. Does anyone know where I can find BigPerl for DOS, or any
other Perl interpreter for MS Dos?

Thanks!

Alternatively, how can I tell Windows that it's *all*right* if the
script wants to overwrite an existing file? :-)
