I have run the older 5.6 on both a Zaurus and a 3G PDA phone, both with smaller memories than the VX6700, and including DBI::PurePerl and a pure perl DBD, so hopefully my much smaller spamkiller script would run OK. But I fear it may be 5.8 dependent (esp. the req'd Net::POP3 modules). And I'd like to run my weblog analyzer scripts, and maybe run ssh from http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/software.html.

Guess I'll see how far I can get w/ the older version before trying to DIY w/ the latest (even tho it would be kewl).

BTW Is your WinCE version free of Serious Design Limitations?

I saw that, and did some more digging (the linked thread is 2 years old), and there are some oddly related issues that popped up during my research (mostly fixed by registry hacks).

BTW: on perlce, you mention the threaded build is a memory pig... have you tried building with the latest threads changes ? I wonder if the stack tuning would help any ? Also, which version of WinCE were you running ? (I'd be running WinMobile 5.0)

And even tho I said I didn't need any GUI stuff...do you have any idea if Win32::GUI has any hope of running on WinCE ?

Anyway, thanks for all the info..
