Re: Perl on PalmOS

The closest for scripting is PocketC, which you can work on the Palm/Visor itself.

Look for the Keyboard Hack, which will get that keyboard layout. Everything else you will have to shop around a bit. You may want to get a LandWare GoType! or Palm/etc Stowaway keyboard.

And hopefully, Perl 6 will have a Palm port!

Go Type! keyboard by grinder (Bishop) on Apr 02, 2001 at 14:06 UTC
My previous workplace gave me a Go Type! keyboard as a going away present, for my Palm III. Trouble is, less than a month after installing the driver on the Palm, it locked up, requiring a reset. It did this three times in a row. These days, the Go Type! keyboard just sits there gathering dust. Anyone else have a similar experience? FWIW, I'm still using the 3.0 PalmOS. -- `g r i n d e r`	[reply]

Try this: Grab the latest drivers from Landware. Then remove all the drivers and back up your Palm. Install the ones you've pulled (pull the Hackmaster driver, too, and try that). The system shouldn't crash. You may have to hard-reset your Palm... sometimes cruft gets left behind. Upgrade to PalmOS 3.3 -- Really. It's stable. Contact Landware. They've been helpfull to me over e-mail when I spilled soda over my older GoType! Turns out that it's died then and there, and I had to replace it. But by then, the GoType! Pro were lower in price. :D -- $Stalag99{"URL"}="http://stalag99.keenspace.com";	[reply]
