I am truly hurt...and also doubting whether people in London.pm can read :-) since I went to a bit of trouble with Perl 5.8.0 to get to cross-compile for iPaq and even went on to document this in INSTALL... Well, I have to admit that it only gets it as far as miniperl, no hope of building any of the extensions. But wait, that is not all! WinCE and EPOC builds of Perl 5.8.0 are also (and always) cross-compiles. So there are options, not just anything generic (which I think is a mythical creature in cross-compilation anyway). That being said, please package your system and put it up available somewhere. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
