You could use it in #Windows Scripting Host or embed #Perl in HTML <script> tags that #InternetExplorer would run if the machine had PerlScript installed.
I don’t know if their hosted ActiveState Platform will build it for you now, though.

apparently #microsoft holds the legal rights to #x; #activex #xbox

Granted, #ActivityPub as a #MultiVendor / #MultiProvider - #Standard will outlive #Mastodon anyway, just as #HTML & #JavaScript outlived #Mosaic & #Netscape.
At most Mastodon will die out like #ActiveX, #InternetExplorer & #Twitter nowadays and #Windows ["Server"] in the future...
