This is revolutionary! Download one 24mb file and you have the
latest Perl, with no installation or compilation, that runs on
Unix, Linux, Mac and Windows. All you have to do is chmod +x.
Now all we need is a web tool that compiles selected CPAN modules
into custom perl.com binaries on the fly for those who don't have
Linux. Imagine that on the official Perl site, or the CPAN!

"BUILDING AN APPLICATION FROM SCRATCH
<p>
If your application requires non-standard C or XS extensions,
APPerl must be built from scratch as it does not support dynamic
libraries, only static linking. Note, this process can only be
completed on Linux as building the Cosmopolitan Libc from scratch
is only supported on Linux and APPerl uses the unix-like Configure
to configure perl."--[cpan://Perl::Dist::APPerl]
<p>
From the full release of APPerl, perl v5.36.0 built with all default modules and C extensions (https://computoid.com/APPerl/):
<code>

This is perl 5, version 36, subversion 0 (v5.36.0) built for x86_64-cosmo
