in thread Does Perl run on ARM?

Not yet. The device in question is still being specified; but is likely to be one of these(pdf) (Toshiba TMPM330FDFG 32-bit ARM Cortex M3).

I see from the responses that the easiest route to having Perl available is if the target is running under some Linux variant. I'm not sure that will be the case; hence my question regarding cross-compilation.

What I am beginning to realise is that it's still too early to be looking at this until more information about the device (still in stealth mode) is available.

    So what OS are you going to run? Android? WinCE? WinRT? Symbian?

      Good question, but not one that I can answer at this stage.

      I won't have much influence in the choice; though I'm pretty sure that "win" won't appear in the name.

      I'd expect it to be RTOS or QNX or similar, though I guess android is a possibility.
