Under a previous conditional offer that was floated in the late fall, someone is interested in helping the effort out by providing an environment for some PERL developers/supporters to use to test more recent releases of PERL on z/OS.
To make sure they can support the effort, they would like this information:
How many userids would be needed
How much disk space would be needed
How much CPU time would be needed
How often these resources would be actively used
What level(s) of z/OS is required
Anything else that would help us make sure we understand what load
would be placed on a system where we let this run
Is there still a need for this?
Dan, since you may be doing some build/testing on a system, can you provide
the resource requirement answers to the questions above? If not, can
someone else?

Ricardo,
I have access to a z/OS 1.11 test system that is isolated.

Definitely -- and what we need more than that is access to a test system.
Right now, we have one or two people who are offering to try and figure out
whether EBCDIC and MVS stuff is working at all, but so far nobody seems to
have
a machine where they can work to run tests, make changes, and so on.
So I am *elated* to hear that you have and are offering domain knowledge!
I
just don't know whether we have put it to use just yet. I hope to be able
to
harass you future on this topic in the future, though. :)
