The code (but no pre-compiled binaries) is at https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk now. Yasuhito listed a few more options at some point... one moment... I don't know why, but I can't find the email in the archives where Yasuhito gave a few links.

Regarding your other question, I hope someone around here speaks Perl. :-) Cheers, Nathan
