Good day monastry mind
Today I install sl4a on my phone and write my first android code.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Android;

my $droid = Android -> new();
my $Out = 'try data for ever looop';
$droid -> makeToast ('event invfo');# done
$droid -> vibrate(); #  done
$droid -> dialogCreateAlert ('d.title','d.data');
$droid -> dialogSetPositiveButtonText ('da');
$droid -> dialogShow();
$Out = $droid -> dialogGetResponse() -> {'result'};
if ($Out -> {'which'} eq 'positive'){
$droid -> makeToast ('have positivee response');}
$droid -> dialogCreateSpinnerProgress('test title','data');
$droid -> dialogShow();
sleep 3;
$droid -> dialogDismiss();

Greetings, Funny. I rooted my Android years ago. Put many different OS's on it. But never thought about putting Perl on it -- I've been pretty busy building a BSD kernel for it. Anyway. While I've seen Mobile related Modules. I haven't heard of a specific version of Perl designed for installation on Mobile devices. A good reference might be: XDA forums. HTH --Chris #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use Perl::Always or die; my $perl_version = (5.12.5); print $perl_version;	[reply]

Hi builat Perl for android is not actively under development. Its kind of dead. See: Here I was once (a year back) mad at perl + android but SLA + Perl is not coming to real thing. May be google just want to promote Java + Native dev. So I fell, it is not viable to invest in android perl unless it is actively under devlopment and we can put apps in app store.
