I installed SL4A and Perl on my Android phone on the weekend, and the tests are working (pretty easy really). I'm curious if someone can suggest the best way to add cpan modules?

On the one hand it might be helpful if my script went ahead an installed them itself, but that also might end up costing someone for downloading.

I'm also interested in suggestions about how to get the Android libraries cleanly installed in a (windows or linux) development environment. I don't want to have to create a Android.pm with '1' in it, just so I pass syntax checking. It would be really helpful if there were a mock android library which performed the UI components using Tk or similar, but I suspect I have to run Eclipse and ADT to test :(
