<p>I do a lot of projects using the Raspberry Pi and Perl. Most of the time, i use a Perl version i compile into my home directory (/home/cavac/bin/perl-versionnumber/...), as this avoids conflicts with the package managment.</p>
<p>Generally, it works fine on the Pi 2 and Pi 3. I'm using a bunch of these in a <a href="https://cavac.at/guest/blog/view/50">cluster</a> to do work on my <a href="https://cavac.at/guest/blog/view/51">mesh network code</a>.</p>
<p>Even running PostgreSQL and my Maplat Webserver (written in Perl) on a Raspberry Pi 2 is not a problem. For example, i run my <a href="http://blinkenlichten.grumpfzotz.org/guest/roomclimate/main">home climate control</a> on one of them (Link may or may not work when you try, this depends on the number of bugs in my DIY DynDNS implementation).</p>
<p>Another RP2 based project runs at my office desk, a status board with 100 RGB LEDs, showing me the statuses of all production lines and my main servers.</p>

"For me, programming in Perl is like my cooking. The result may not always taste nice, but it's quick, painless and it get's food on the table."
