in reply to 6502 Perl
Hmm, you could start out with the WDC 65C816, which is a 8/16 bit descendent of the 6502. That one supports up to 16MB of memory and could serve as an intermediate step for your project.
perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
