satanklawz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hey, a rather silly question- anyone seen a perl script run on a PocketPC WITHOUT Linux installed on it? I saw what elbie wrote, and agree completely- a better interface has to be made first before I'm tempted to install Linux again- However, I'd like to be able to run perl scripts on it in the PDA's native enviroment. I have seen perl for CE, but couldn't find where download it (just read about it/ports were 'in the making'). Anyone hear anything else?

    You might want to check out PerlCE. I have yet to try it (my CE 2.0's battery is dead for now), but it seems fairly solid and real. Good luck.

    Not silly at all. What I'd REALLY like is Perl for my handspring...

    Hell I'd like a PDA that didn't eat batteries, but I'd like to win the lotto too :)
