Perl has initial support for cross-compiling with toolchain, up to 'miniperl', which then can be used as a replacement of full perl

I had plans to use embedded Linux, but did not found proper device in shops, so I used to buy PocketPC device. (looks like it is problematic in our town, as resellers do not bother on non-mainstream directions :(( )
Meanwhile, I am using perl on my PocketPC and very very glad of it.

I know, however, that if you'll contact right people at right time and will donate them device for development, they'll provide you with a solution quite timely.
