The image has JOE 0.1.5, some sort of jupp¹-ish editor,
which made me happy. But I’ve got another problem: I can’t
run mksh’s testsuite, whose driver is written in Perl, which
I don’t speak.

Any help in porting mksh/check.pl² to t̲h̲a̲t̲? ☺

Thanks in advance,

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
