For more informations look at: <a href="http://www.symbian.com/">http://www.symbian.com/</a></p> <p>This is a port of perl to the epocemx SDK by Eberhard Mattes, which itself uses the SDK by symbian. Essentially epocemx it is a POSIX look alike environment for the EPOC OS. For more information look at: <a href="http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/">http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/</a></p> <p>perl and epocemx runs on Epoc Release 5 machines: Psion 5mx, 5mx Pro, Psion Revo, Psion Netbook and on the Ericsson M128. It may run on Epoc Release 3 Hardware (Series 5 classic), too. For more information about this hardware please refer to <a href="http://www.psion.com/">http://www.psion.com/</a></p> <p>Vendors which like to have support for their devices are free to send me a sample.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="installing_perl_on_epoc">INSTALLING PERL ON EPOC</a></h1> <p>You can download a ready-to-install version from <a href="http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/perl/">http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/perl/</a></p> <p>You will need at least ~6MB free space in order to install and run perl.</p> <p>Please install the emxusr.sis package from <a href="http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/">http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/</a> first.</p> <p>Install perl.sis on the EPOC machine. If you do not know how to do that, consult your PsiWin documentation.</p> <p>Perl itself and its standard library is using 4 MB disk space. Unicode support and some other modules are left out. (For details, please look into epoc/createpkg.pl). If you like to use these modules, you are free to copy them from a current perl release.</p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h1><a name="starting_perl_on_epoc">STARTING PERL ON EPOC</a></h1> <p>Please use the epocemx shell to start perl. perl integrates with the conventions of epocemx.</p> <p> </p> <h2><a name="editors_on_epoc">Editors on Epoc</a></h2> <p>A suitable text editor can be downloaded from symbian <a href="http://www.symbian.com/developer/downloads/files/editor.zip">http://www.symbian.com/developer/downloads/files/editor.zip</a></p> <p> </p> <h2><a name="features_of_perl_on_epoc">Features of Perl on Epoc</a></h2> <p>The built-in function EPOC::getcwd returns the current directory.</p> <p> </p> <h2><a name="restrictions_of_perl_on_epoc">Restrictions of Perl on Epoc</a></h2> <p>Features are left out, because of restrictions of the POSIX support in EPOC:</p> <ul> <li> <p>socket IO is only implemented poorly. You can only use sysread and syswrite on them. The commands read, write, print, <> do not work for sockets. This may change iff epocemx supports sockets.</p> </li> <li> <p>kill, alarm and signals. Do not try to use them. This may be impossible to implement on EPOC.</p> </li> <li> <p>select is missing.</p> </li> <li> <p>binmode does not exist. (No CR LF to LF translation for text files)</p> </li> <li> <p>EPOC does not handle the notion of current drive and current directory very well (i.e. not at all, but it tries hard to emulate one). See PATH.</p> </li> <li> <p>Heap is limited to 4MB.</p> </li> <li> <p>Dynamic loading is not implemented.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <h2><a name="compiling_perl_5_on_the_epoc_cross_compiling_environment">Compiling Perl 5 on the EPOC cross compiling environment</a></h2> <p>Sorry, this is far too short.</p> <ul> <li> <p>You will need the epocemx SDK from Eberhard Mattes.</p> </li> <li> <p>Get the Perl sources from your nearest CPAN site.</p> </li> <li> <p>Unpack the sources.</p> </li> <li> <p>Build a native perl from this sources...
