-NAME
- PerlCE - perl for Windows CE
-
-DESCRIPTION
- PerlCE is a simple port of perl to Windows CE. The program
- is currently linked with a simple console window, so it also
- works on non-hpc devices.
-
- The simple stdio implementation creates the files stdin.txt,
- stdout.txt and stderr.txt, so you might examine them if your
- console has only a liminted number of cols.
-
- When exitcode is non-zero, a message box appears, otherwise the
- console closes, so you might have to catch an exit with
- status 0 in your program to see any output.
-
- stdout/stderr now go into the files /perl-stdout.txt and
- /perl-stderr.txt.
-
-LIMITATIONS
- No fork(), pipe(), popen() etc.
-
-ENVIRONMENT
- All environment vars must be stored in HKLM\Environment as
- strings. They are read at process startup.
-
- PERL5LIB - Usual perl lib path (semi-list).
- PATH - Semi-list for executables.
- TMP - Tempdir.
- UNIXROOTPATH - Root for accessing some special files,
- i.e. /dev/null, /etc/services.
- ROWS/COLS - Rows/cols for console.
- HOME - Home directory.
- CONSOLEFONTSIZE - Size for console font.
-
- You can set these with cereg.exe, a (remote) registry editor
- or via the PerlIDE.
-
-REGISTRY
- To start perl by clicking on a perl source file, you have
- to make the according entries in HKCR (see wince-reg.bat).
- cereg.exe (which must be executed on a desktop pc with
- ActiveSync) is reported not to work on some devices.
- You have to create the registry entries by hand using a
- registry editor.
-
-FILES
- $(UNIXROOTPATH)/dev/null - nul simulation, needed for perl -V
- $(UNIXROOTPATH)/etc/services - services file
-
- /perl-stdin.txt
- /perl-stdout.txt
- /perl-stderr.txt
-
-PERLFILES
- Only a limited set of perl files is provided in the
- distribution archiv. You have to copy the original PERL5LIB
- files from a perl for win32 installation and put the
- distributed files into the right directories.
-
- The following files are a reasonable minimum if you want to do
- some socket stuff:
-
- ./auto
- ./auto/DynaLoader
- ./auto/DynaLoader/autosplit.ix
- ./auto/DynaLoader/dl_expandspec.al
- ./auto/DynaLoader/dl_findfile.al
- ./auto/DynaLoader/dl_find_symbol_anywhere.al
- ./auto/IO
- ./auto/IO/IO.bs
- ./auto/IO/IO.dll
- ./auto/Socket
- ./auto/Socket/Socket.bs
- ./auto/Socket/Socket.dll
- ./Carp
- ./Carp/Heavy.pm
- ./Carp.pm
- ./Config.pm
- ./DynaLoader.pm
- ./Exporter
- ./Exporter/Heavy.pm
- ./Exporter.pm
- ./IO
- ./IO/File.pm
- ./IO/Handle.pm
- ./IO/Socket.pm
- ./IO.pm
- ./SelectSaver.pm
- ./Socket.pm
- ./strict.pm
- ./Symbol.pm
- ./warnings
- ./warnings/register.pm
- ./warnings.pm
- ./XSLoader.pm
-
-XS
- The following Win32-Methods are built-in:
-
- newXS("Win32::GetCwd", w32_GetCwd, file);
- newXS("Win32::SetCwd", w32_SetCwd, file);
- newXS("Win32::GetTickCount", w32_GetTickCount, file);
- newXS("Win32::GetOSVersion", w32_GetOSVersion, file);
- newXS("Win32::IsWinNT", w32_IsWinNT, file);
- newXS("Win32::IsWin95", w32_IsWin95, file);
- newXS("Win32::IsWinCE", w32_IsWinCE, file);
- newXS("Win32::CopyFile", w32_CopyFile, file);
- newXS("Win32::Sleep", w32_Sleep, file);
- newXS("Win32::MessageBox", w32_MessageBox, file);
- newXS("Win32::GetPowerStatus", w32_GetPowerStatus, file);
- newXS("Win32::GetOemInfo", w32_GetOemInfo, file);
- newXS("Win32::ShellEx", w32_ShellEx, file);
-
-DLLS
- In the newest version, my celib.dll is needed. Some XS dlls
- might be needed. Currently, Socket and IO are provided.
-
-BUGS
- Opening files for read-write is currently not supported if
- they use stdio (normal perl file handles).
-
- If you find bugs or if it does not work at all on your
- device, send mail to the address below. Please report
- the details of your device (processor, ceversion,
- devicetype (hpc/palm/pocket)) and the date of the downloaded
- files.
-
- I currently have only a Compaq/MIPS HPC, a Jornada/SH3 HPC and
- a Jornada/ARM HPC, so I can only test on these devices and
- under the Emulators.
-
-INSTALLATION
- This is only a suggestion...
-
- * Unpack the tar archive on your desktop.
- * Create directories /bin, /lib/perl5, /home, /dev and /etc,
- possibly on a CF card with the path to the card
- prepended (i.e. /memcard/bin etc).
- * Copy perl.exe, perl56.dll and celib.dll from your desktop to
- /bin. The dlls can also be copied to your /windows
- directory, but if you use a CF card, you might want to store
- them there.
- * Copy the other DLLs to the corresponding auto directory.
- * Copy any needed perl module-files to /lib/perl5.
- * Create the registry entries.
- * If you need tcp service-name resolution, create
- the file "services" in /etc and put int the entries you need.
-
- * Under WINCE200, all dlls must be copied to the windows
- directory.
-
-MISC
- If you think a certain XS module should be ported, send
- me mail and explain why.
-
- If you write useful scripts for perlce, please send me
- a copy.
-
-TERMINAL
- There are simple terminal control sequences now. See the
- readme file that comes with the console program.
