I used the perldroid project to cross-compile perl 5.16 for android (ARM) using the latest Android NDK stand-alone toolchain. After hacking on perldroid to fix a few things I got a mostly-working perl binary & libraries. One problem remains however. If I have perl code that does something like this, it will not work: my @foo = `ls run_*.PID 2>/dev/null`; I think this might be because Android has no /bin/sh. Instead, it puts the shell at /system/bin/sh. Maybe lacking /bin/sh perl uses some interal minimal fake shell and thus fails to handle more advanced system calls? Anyone know if perl can be configured to use a different shell by default, or where the code is that could be changed to use /system/bin/sh?
