20y/o perl and userland. Chances what your obfuscated, top (well not so top) notch code would run on it are slim.

20 year old Perl would be Perl 5.6 or 5.8, any Perl code that doesn't use:

  use 5.010; # Or higher...
...would run. Yes, giving up on say and function signatures would be unfortunate, but Perl code tends to have very good backwards compatibility.
