On my Win XP computer, the Perl folder (with all modules, but without scripts I wrote myself) runs close to 90 megabyte. Can you put that much memory in a mobile phone nowadays? CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

Yep, a coworker has a 512mb card in his... Perl on a cell seems kinda frivolous though -- but I am a galoot =) -Waswas	[reply]

Room enough it seems to run a mod-perl enabled Apache2 web-server on your cell-phone. Gone are the days of a "home-page", you now can have your personal web-server in your pocket! CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]

Evil, Evil! Perish the idea. CountZero "If you have four groups working on a compiler, you'll get a 4-pass compiler." - Conway's Law	[reply]
Re: Perl on Nokia Smartphones... you mean Python, not Perl by jacques (Priest) on Jan 22, 2004 at 16:28 UTC

Dear Nokia, please to not be trying to make computers, you're not very good at it. Instead, please make phones. You used to be good at that. Adding a zillion unnecessary complex features only makes your devices crash more often and makes them harder to use even if I don't use the pointless wanky features. Grrr.	[reply]

Guys, what does happen? I think that it's great news! It will open new possibilities for Perl developers! But, anyway, Nokia prefers Python to Perl for smartphone scripting ;(( -- Michael Stepanov	[reply]
