Embedded Perl

From: Grant Erickson <hidden>

In a target system I was planning on running Perl scripts as a means to
accomplish a lot of tasks, particularly for driving CGI scripts for
web-based management. However, it has since dawned on me that an
installation of Perl is HUGE (12+ MB).

Has anyone had any experience getting PERL shoehorned into an embedded
environment? How trim were you able to make Perl?

Thanks,

Grant Erickson

Have you looked at the GoAhead embedded web server? It's in the HardHat
distribution. It's intended for small memory footprint requirements and seems
to have mechanisms to do CGI-style stuff without needing perl.

See www.goahead.com
