For more informations look at: -http://www.symbian.com/ - -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: -http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/ - -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 http://www.psion.com/ - -Vendors which like to have support for their devices are free to send -me a sample. - -=head1 INSTALLING PERL ON EPOC - -You can download a ready-to-install version from -http://www.oflebbe.de/oflebbe/perl/ - -You will need at least ~6MB free space in order to install and run perl. - -Please install the emxusr.sis package from -http://epocemx.sourceforge.net/ first. - -Install perl.sis on the EPOC machine. If you do not know how to do -that, consult your PsiWin documentation. - -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. - -=head1 STARTING PERL ON EPOC - -Please use the epocemx shell to start perl. perl integrates with the -conventions of epocemx. - -=head2 Editors on Epoc - -A suitable text editor can be downloaded from symbian -http://www.symbian.com/developer/downloads/files/editor.zip - -=head2 Features of Perl on Epoc - -The built-in function EPOC::getcwd returns the current directory. - -=head2 Restrictions of Perl on Epoc - -Features are left out, because of restrictions of the POSIX support in -EPOC: - -=over 4 - -=item * - -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. - -=item * - -kill, alarm and signals. Do not try to use them. This may be -impossible to implement on EPOC. - -=item * - -select is missing. - -=item * - -binmode does not exist. (No CR LF to LF translation for text files) - -=item * - -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).
