Rewrite the script in another language that would be available on those systems. That would be my first suggestion. You can inflate the price seeing as you wrote the script expecting one set of circumstances that is now politically infeasible, hence you have to start over.

An alternative would be write a main() in C that embeds the Perl interpreter, hard-code the Perl script as a string, then call the C-equivalent of Perl's eval on it. That would be studly. :-) Of course, you'd need access to one of their machines for development purposes and a compiler for each environment ... Good luck?

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
