Re: [jornada] Jornada 720 vs Sharp Zaurus

I finally got around to installing Perl on my
Jornada720 with the binaries I got off
http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/. Has anyone else
tried it yet?

If so, maybe you could help me out. I set everything
up as close to the way the instructions indicate. It
works, but there are 2 problems.

The first is with Perl itself. I have everything on
my storage card, so PERL5LIB = ".;/Storage
Card/lib/;/Storage Card/lib/perl5;/Storage
Card/lib/perl5/auto". I verified this by printing out
@INC. However, when I try to import ANY module, perl
complains it cannot find it.'

The second is with the IDE. It works great as an
editor, but after running the program once, I keep
getting the same output each time from there on out
until I close and reopen the application. I also
always get a return code of -1 (my app is exiting with
a rc of 1).

If anyone is using this software, I'd appreciate it if
you could tell me if you are experiencing the same
problems or if it works fine for you.

Thanks,
Curt
