Installing Perl is a bit easier to do if you flash your Zaurus (mine is a SL-5500) with one of the OpenZaurus Project's ROMs. The installation of the Embedix kernel and OS is much more true to Linux. So installing Perl to the SD flash card is as easy as getting the familiar package (*.ipk), and typing ipkg -t sd install perl.ipk. (-t uses a non-default installation target).

Vim, kate, and MicroEmacs are all available for the Zaurus and syntax highlighting is available for all of them. (gcc also works on the Zaurus, but don't hold your breath waiting for stuff to compile...).

In addition to the excellent links in the root node, anyone interested in learning more about the Zaurus (or about their Zaurus) should have a look at the unofficial Zaurus FAQ.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
