If you could get a few people to post results for a variety of platforms, installations and Perl versions that they might have available, you may get something approaching a reasonable answer to your "every platform ... every version" question.

Well, here's an old platform and an old version ;-) 

canis [shmem] /home/shmem > time perl -e 'my $iters = 100_000; my $run
+s = 6; for my $sides (qw{1 2 3 4 6 8 10 20 100}) { printf "%-5s", "D$
+sides:"; for (1 .. $runs) { my $tot = 0; for (1 .. $iters) { $tot += 
+int(rand $sides)+1; } print " ", $tot/$iters; } print "\n"; } '

SPARCstation voyager, cpu = SUNW,S240. Sorry, no PDP-11 available, and the Atari is out of order.

Update: looks like perl4 is significantly slower. But the numbers look right.
