Programming and Scripting :: Perl lib for 16-bit Laptop

Hi,

I have HD installed DSL on my old Toshiba Tectra Laptops. Tectra uses a 16-bit bus. DSL works fine in general, however, there is one problem.

Perl modules I have downloaded and installed now, i.e. Activestate Perl are for Win32 and a module such as Net::Ping does not work.

Can anyone help me and recommend a DSL compatible Perl modules library that I can use for my old 16-bit machines?
