Try tinyperl. It most certainly fits on a floppy. I don't know about 16-bit DOS mode, but you could always ask gmpassos. -- edan	[reply]

You might be able to get away with putting miniperl (a small-featured version of perl which is built during the compilation of perl itself) on a boot floppy. Must you use DOS? Doing this with one of the linux boot floppy systems sounds like it's going to be easier.	[reply]
