It seemed a good place to start:[...]
What I'm really wondering is what you are trying to accomplish. Usually, posts in 'Cool uses for Perl' tell you what the use is. Compiling old versions of Perl is interesting but why? Are you planning to create your own new language? Are you targeting a microcontroller or embedded system of some sort? Are you planning to embed it in Lua and then embed that Lua into Perl? A game engine?
It would be interesting if there were a repository for all the old versions of Perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
