Perl on embedded device Andrew Rich 06-10-2008

I have always run perl on laptops and desktops.

We are looking to make a little LINUX display.

Which begs me to ask the question

Does LINUX and PERL run on small embedded devices ?

If you can run Linux, you can probably run Perl. I can't answer as to
whether you can run Linux: ask in a Linux group.

Like a cell phone or something?

Yes Perl runs on embedded devices.

Openembedded http://oe.linuxtogo.org/ has recipes to build perl and get
it running on most of the machines listed in:

Depends on what you mean by "small". When I was doing embedded work a
few years ago, we had 4 MB of flash - enough for a linux kernel, a
busybox shell and our application. I didn't even try to fit perl onto
that thing - even if I had succeeded, everybody would have considered
the space that the perl interpreter needed as wasted.
