Subject: [Thousand-Oaks-pm] Perl Mongers Week
Message-ID: <D00DAC8E.4D10E%pbowen@valueclick.com>

Good evening,
	It's perl mongers week.  Wednesday is techno lunch, and Thursday is
evening mongers.  I have two open sessions, but would love to have
speakers. :)  We always seem to find something super interesting to talk
about, but planning is good.

	We also need to find a new night for Perl Mongers.  I have a commitment
that rotates year to year, and starting in September, it moves back to
Thursday.  I would like to move mongers back to the second Wednesday, or
I'll need someone to take over my duties and the coordinator next year.

	I hope to see you there!

-Peter

Barry, looks good. I found a procedure for getting Perl installed on an
Android Virtual Device at
http://perltricks.com/article/97/2014/6/16/How-to-build-Perl-on-Android-4-4;
is that similar to what you did? Are you planning a Perl app on the phone?
Really cool!

Yes, I forgot about that. For me, it is worth being able to experiment with.

Microperl is one of the many ?micro? utilities that run in BusyBox. As I understand it, it is a port of ?real? perl  5.7. As to whether it is fully functional I do not know.

 

There is another Perl interpreter for Android in the Play Store. Look for ?Perl? from ?Appaio.com?. As I understand it, the Perl code has to be manually entered through the app?s interface, which for me would be awkward and too tedious. Still, it is a start.

That would be good.

I don?t know about the Android Virtual Device thingy.

 

Of course I?m planning to write a Perl app for my phone, heh heh. I think I?ll start with an app that will determine if my servers are up and running. I can?t use ping because the servers ignore it, and all of the low numbered ports are shut off.

  I installed, way back, a coupla things on my LG Intuition phone (which I
haven't yet rooted), that I still haven't found out how to use or do
anything useful with.  One shows up as "PerlAPK" and the other as "SL4A".

  I've found lots of online stuff about the latter, a google code project
that's now hosted at:

     https://github.com/damonkohler/sl4a

where there's a README.md if you scroll to the bottom, after the files list.

  For the former, all I know is at:


https://code.google.com/p/perl-android-apk/downloads/detail?name=PerlAPK.apk

where it says "This is just an example script, which can be replaced with
your own scripts (see the Wiki for more details)" and there's a "Wiki" link
at the top of the page, which goes to:

      https://code.google.com/p/perl-android-apk/w/list

so maybe something there would help.  So far, with the limited time I've
invested exploring, I haven't gotten to where I can write Perl to execute
on my phone, nor stuff like installing CPAN modules.  (I like using PDL a
lot, for instance, which isn't a trivial download.)

  I sure can think of lots of stuff I'd like to do on Android, in Perl,
once I get a bit further.

  A key intention I had in playing with my BeagleBone Black has been to
install Android on it, use it with a 2 Tb USB disk, keyboard, mouse,
display and Wifi dongle to enable developing Android mobile apps in Android
instead of having to cross-compile from another environment.  I've got
everything together for that except getting an Android ISO to boot and my
Wifi dongle to reliably work across reboots (in Angstrom).

  There's enough stuff not working to qualify as fun for any
died-in-the-wool techie.
