Anyone,
I was attempting to get some ATM Tools compiled into the embedded PowerPC,
and found I needed Perl installed on the target before I continue.
So my question...
Has anyone had any luck getting any version of Perl 5 or higher installed
onto the file system. I am still running this over the NFS dev environment,
and plan to remove it before final production, so space is of no concern at
the moment.
Or perhaps a pre-compiled RPM that installs, that is built for PowerPC.
I am using DENX Linux 2.4.25 at the moment, with pretty much the default
root file system that is provided.

You probably want to avoid his in an embedded system...

Sure. This is trivial. Perl configures and builds just fine, assuming
you have enough time, memory and swap space.

No RPM, sorry.

Just follow the standard instructions for configuring and building
Perl (in native mode, of course). I did this several times before,
without any problems. You have to be patient, though, It's a huge
amount of code, and definitely takes a lot of time to compile.
Best regards,

I was compiling and running Perl on my mpc8540 system (natively)...
I haven't had any problems with that.
$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for ppc-linux
----- my (old) install log says:
perl:
wget ftp://.../perl-5.8.6.tar.gz
tar ...
less INSTALL
rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure
or
sh Configure -de (for default installation)
make
make test
and it should end up with something like:
All tests successful.
u=6.52 s=0.89 cu=415.95 cs=22.58 scripts=845 tests=87560
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/clemens/build/perl-5.8.6'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/clemens/build/perl-5.8.6'
and finally:
su -
make install

Sorry, no rpm's over here. Which PowerPC?

Should be no problem, I think. I started with that too, a long time ago.
Give it a try. You just need make sure that you don't run out of coffee! ;-)
