Sorry if I'm repeating a question I've asked previously.

I'm curious - what are you using microperl for? I wasn't aware of anyone actually finding ways to put it to use.

I work with Buildroot, which is a cross-compiling environment for embedded linux (see http://buildroot.uclibc.org/). Buildroot comes with some packages for scripting : python, lua, ruby, php, tcl and microperl.

microperl is not what I expect with an embedded linux. So, I work on a package of a full perl. I will post some patches in few days.

But, I think that microperl could be useful in smaller embedded device, like with RTEMS (see http://www.rtems.com/).
