I had not seen that piece of information yet, thank you for sharing. In the linked documentation, it says "Configure understands -Dusecrosscompile option. This option arranges for building miniperl for TARGET machine, so this miniperl is assumed then to be copied to TARGET machine and used as a replacement of full perl executable. "
Do I understand correctly, that 'miniperl' is an actual Perl build that I can use to run Perl scripts? Or, is 'miniperl' an intermediate step in compiling, and miniperl's only goal in life is to build an actual Perl exectuable?
In the former case, I 'only' have to get miniperl to be built in the target architecture (in my case arm64 or x86_64, as I am planning on embedding into iOS), right?
