Is there a version of Perl that works on the latest Iyonix (5.18

I have perl-5/8/8-1/zip installed on Iyonix 5.18.
It appears to be running OK, but I haven't used it much.
Have you had problems?

See http://www.cp15.org/programming/ if you have not found it already!

I use it on the Iyonix as part of the Impact build process, and it functions
fine.  It's not got all the fancy RISC OS specific modules which Nicholas
Clark's port had, but it suits my current purposes.

I use it less and less on RISC OS these days. The loss of the SWI module was
a big disappointement to me.

I used to use Awk a lot until I came across Lua. It does not have the
extensive module-libraries of Perl (or Python) but RiscLua does give
you SWIs and iteration over directories.

Yes, I thought thos mkght b
get a comment about Lua.

I am tempted by Lua, but in this case I've been govem a Perl program for
displaying thumbnails of JFIFs. I am trying to modify that!

You can see the output at
http://www.Torrens.org.uk/Adrian/Photos/Prague/RichardT/

the program itself is 
http://www.Torrens.org.uk/Adrian/Photos/Prague/RichardT/index.cgi

I have also included this Perl script in a <IFRAME> at
http://www.Torrens.org.uk/NatHist/Czech_Flowers/index.html

the script ther is
http://www.Torrens.org.uk/NatHist/Czech_Flowers/index.cgi

I don't think Lua can do this - but there are some graphic interfaces that
can work with Lua.

#2123 — gawk for ARMini (was Re: Perl on Iyonix)

NB Were you aware that your latest port of awk doesn't seem to be
Beagle-board compatible?   Quick testing produces the confusing error
"mawk: bozo: bad cell passed to cellcpy()" at every attempt to call the
executable....

Fortunately Duncan Moore has gawk 3.1.7 compiled for 32-bit RISC OS at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/duncan-moore/riscos/zip/gawk-3-1-7-ro1.zip
which is what I've been using on the ARMini.

Yes, I have been trying 5/8/8-1/zip but it crashes the Iyo.

However the Iyo has just developed very serious problems with networking,
so kis near useless.
