Perl — interprete QDOS

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot using Minerva 1.98a1 ROM, 4096 KiB emulator RAM and Toolkit II 2.32. Executed a Perl script summing the integers from 1 to 10: displayed SUM=55 and wrote a file containing exactly 55 followed by a newline. Tested with 4096 KiB of emulated RAM; other modules and full language compatibility were not tested. Basic functional check in sQLux, not full validation or a physical-hardware test. Audio untested. ROMs are not included.
