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.
