Similar to the Sapphire search, does anyone have Perl 5.004_03 sources?
CPAN doesn't go back that far, and BackPAN doesn't go forward that far. I'm curious because the installed version here at work has a problem with glob, but the sources are nowhere to be found.

Works by CPANID so if you do 'perldoc perlhist' to find the pumpkin of that release, find the CPANID and then cruise BACKPAN for the tarball of that perl. 5.004_03 [valueclick.com] was the job of Tim Bunce, so you look under TIMB and voila :)

There used to be something that I think was called "Oasis" that had lots of old versions of Perl, even going back to 1.0. It used to be linked to from perl.com's download section. It's probably a good thing that it's not anymore, but does anyone know where it is?

The Oasis, a.k.a. LEO, is no more, but you can still find the old perls it had here [valueclick.com].
