One question might be why, but I won't ask. If there
was a Palm Perl I'd be happy.
You might not be able to load large modules; my Clie with
8MB RAM crashes for example playing a movie if I have less than
a 1MB free. So even if you can store Perl and all your
files in the memory stick or whatever you have, you will have
to be careful with your use of memory. You will need to
build yourself a porting layer library that simulates a lot.
Not so sure you can even do :: if that indicates a module
in a folder since there are no folders in palmos. But I
wondered myself, even with only a small understanding of
perl innards I wouldn't say impossible.
Possibly this would be doable to some degree if the
folks with Palm Linux come out with the source code, maybe
even before then.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
