How can I get Perl via UUCP?

    You can get it from the site osu-cis; here is the appropriate info,
    thanks to J Greely <jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu> or <osu-cis!jgreely>.

    E-mail contact:
            osu-cis!uucp
    Get these two files first:
            osu-cis!~/GNU.how-to-get.
            osu-cis!~/ls-lR.Z
    Current Perl distribution:
            osu-cis!~/perl/4.0/kits@10/perl.kitXX.Z (XX=01-37)

    Modify as appropriate for your site, of course, to deal with your
    local telephone system.  There are no limitations concerning the hours
    of the day you may call.

    Another possibility is to use UUNET, although they charge you
    for it.  You have been duly warned.  Here's the advert:

               Anonymous Access to UUNET's Source Archives

                             1-900-GOT-SRCS

         UUNET now provides access to its extensive collection of UNIX
    related sources to non- subscribers.  By  calling  1-900-468-7727
    and  using the login "uucp" with no password, anyone may uucp any
    of UUNET's on line source collection.  Callers will be charged 40
    cents  per  minute.   The charges will appear on their next tele-
    phone bill.

         The  file  uunet!/info/help  contains  instructions.   The  file
    uunet!/index//ls-lR.Z contains a complete list of the files available
    and is updated daily.  Files ending in Z need to be uncompressed
    before being used.   The file uunet!~/compress.tar is a tar
    archive containing the C sources for the uncompress program.

         This service provides a  cost  effective  way  of  obtaining
    current  releases  of sources without having to maintain accounts
    with UUNET or some other service.  All modems  connected  to  the
    900  number  are  Telebit T2500 modems.  These modems support all
    standard modem speeds including PEP, V.32 (9600), V.22bis (2400),
    Bell  212a  (1200), and Bell 103 (300).  Using PEP or V.32, a 1.5
    megabyte file such as the GNU C compiler would cost $10  in  con-
    nect  charges.   The  entire  55  megabyte X Window system V11 R4
    would cost only $370 in connect time.  These costs are less  than
    the  official  tape  distribution fees and they are available now
    via modem.
