in reply to TinyPerl 2.0 and new SF site.

The thought just occurred to me, why is TinyPerl possible on the windows platform; but not for linux. Or am I just overlooking something obvious. Is there something similar for linux? I'm not talking about the "building executable feature" ; just a small perl package to fit on a floppy?

    For now no! Well, almost Linux distribution, has Perl, but the idea to put inside a floopy will need that.

    PODmaster ask me to publish fast the source code of TinyPerl, but it comes from a standart Perl source, and almost job to make TinyPerl was made manually. And is not easy, since we need to edit the PerlLib .c files for each OS.

    What I'm thinking to do is to release some script that convert everything inside standart Perl source. But I will need some free time to do all of this! ;-/
