    True, but those are just ports of the original "perl" binary (originally written for Unixen). Indeed, their codebase is part of the codebase of the original "perl" binary. They are not distinct interpreters in the way the Perlito and perl11 are.

      Thanks for clarifying. Now, I imagine they had to recompile the interpreter for Windows, leading to possible differences in certain behaviours, is that possible?
