in reply to PERL on a Palm?

All right, I admit it, I'm a geek!
Asking that question doesn't make you a geek, actually getting down and porting a version would. Do you even know what the Palm API looks like - it may not be
a) particularly worthwhile
or
b) it may not even be difficult

    I've played with Palm programming and it will be a difficult task. Take a look at the size of the perl executable for the main reason why. Palm programs must be tiny, tiny, tiny! I'd settle for a small SSH client and a reliable net connection myself...

    Actually getting down a porting something seems to still be Black Magic to me. I know that kind of thing can be done, but (for now) it's the kind of thing men who wear cloaks and funny hats while burning chemicals with names I can't pronounce do.

    For right now, I'll stick to using PERL and leave the magic to the wizards!
