From: Rainer Keuchel <rkeuc@allgeier.net>

This port is based on the native ntperl and was tested on a Jornada 680 with 
SH3 and a Compaq 2930A with MIPS.

The binary distribution contains only a minimal subset of perl files and the 
following executables:

  emacs, perl, ftpd, ls, rsh, rcp, des

Limitations:

* Slow startup.
* No pipes.
* Socket IO does not work with file handles.
* Does not compile/run with optimizations.
* No XS dlls yet.

Sources:

The sources can be made available if there is interest. You need a Visual C 6.0 
installation and a Windows CE SDK to recompile.

The port is mainly based on a crt-library I had to write to compensate the lack 
of functions in Microsoft's library and ANSI wrappers for Unicode functions.
