I don\'t know about the 5.8 port at CPAN (will give it a look though) but I\'ve installed and used the 5.6.1-7 version (in the ZUG feed) on both 5600 and 860 with no problems.

It\'s great to have perl in my handheld - I\'m a linux sysadmin and I write little perl quickies 24/7 it seems - next I\'m going to see if I can get apache working with perl cgi on the 860.

Post by: dadabhoy on March 01, 2004, 01:02:06 pm: Thanks newkirk, I installed 5.6.1-7 and it seems to work with simple code I have written but gives the following warning before running the program

perl: warning :Setting locale failed.
perl: warning :Please check that you locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset)
LC_ALL = (unset)
LANG = \"en\"
are supported and installed on you system.
perl : warning : Failing back to the standard local (\"C\").

Post by: thomas on March 07, 2004, 05:52:40 am: To get rid of the warnings, I added the following to /home/root/.profile:

LANG=\"en_US\"
LC_ALL=\"C\"

And to /home/zaurus/.profile:

export LANG=\"C\"

Ciao,
Thomas

I recommend you get perl from here: http://packages.debian.org/stable (http://packages.debian.org/stable)

The other perls listed http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus (http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus) are complete but lack many interesting modules and building them may be a pain. The 5.6.1 distro from http://packages.debian.org/stable (http://packages.debian.org/stable) has a complete set of modules as well. Just take the arm .deb files extract with ar x and tar up with tgz, install and go.

I have already done this for the following and posted here: http://www.sense.net/zc/perl/ (http://www.sense.net/zc/perl/)

Base code. Install all three.
Code: [Select]
perl-base_5.6.1-8.7_arm.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:19 532k perl-modules_5.6.1-8.7_all.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:19 1.2M perl_5.6.1-8.7_arm.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:21 1.1M

Perl/Tk. You will need Xqt installed (.8 not .9) as well if you want to develop Perl/Tk GUI scripts.
Code: [Select]
perl-tk_800.024-1_arm.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:21 1.9M
E.g. rolodex example application in Xqt:
[img]http://sense.net/zc/scrn005.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /]

I needed both for my perl-based IPMI code to run from my Z.
Code: [Select]
libdigest-md5-perl_2.13-2_arm.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:18 21k libstorable-perl_1.0.14-1_arm.ipk 08-Jun-2004 09:18 51k

I am a big fan of WWW automation with perl LWP, I\'ll probably convert that next.

Cacko 1.21a/b w/ Xqt on my c860.
