Kinda beyond the scope of your request but give me about a week to refocus on it and I should have perl building on the device itself again. I had it up and running in '11 and planned on using that phone as a smoker (for perl and/or CPAN) but got distracted. There are a few things that needed to be done manually IIRC (a compile that was missing a flag, etc.)

In case someone else wants to give it a shot, I based the process on building R on Android.
