The following patch causes DynaLoader.a to be built with -fPIC so it can be linked into a shared library later. patch -Np1 -i ../&perl-fpic-patch; cd Cross Compile the package: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="${CLFS_TARGET}-" Install the package: make DESTDIR=${CLFS} install Installed programs Installed libraries a2p, c2ph, cpan, dprofpp, enc2xs, find2perl, h2ph, h2xs, instmodsh, libnetcfg, perl, perl&perl-version; (link to perl), perlbug, perlcc, perldoc, perlivp, piconv, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2latex, pod2man, pod2text, pod2usage, podchecker, podselect, prove, psed (link to s2p), pstruct (link to c2ph), s2p, splain, and xsubpp Several hundred which cannot all be listed here Short Descriptions a2p Translates awk to Perl a2p c2ph Dumps C structures as generated from cc -g -S c2ph cpan Shell script that provides a command interface to CPAN.pm cpan dprofpp Displays Perl profile data dprofpp enc2xs Builds a Perl extension for the Encode module from either Unicode Character Mappings or Tcl Encoding Files enc2xs find2perl Translates find commands to Perl find2perl h2ph Converts .h C header files to .ph Perl header files h2ph h2xs Converts .h C header files to Perl extensions h2xs libnetcfg Can be used to configure the libnet libnetcfg instmodsh A shell script for examining installed Perl modules, and can even create a tarball from an installed module instmodsh perl Combines some of the best features of C, sed, awk and sh into a single swiss-army-knife language perl perl&perl-version; A hard link to perl perl&perl-version; perlbug Used to generate bug reports about Perl, or the modules that come with it, and mail them perlbug perlcc Generates executables from Perl programs perlcc perldoc Displays a piece of documentation in pod format that is embedded in the Perl installation tree or in a Perl script perldoc perlivp The Perl Installation Verification Procedure; it can be used to verify that Perl and its libraries have been installed correctly perlivp piconv A Perl version of the character encoding converter iconv piconv pl2pm A rough tool for converting Perl4 .pl files to Perl5 .pm modules pl2pm pod2html Converts files from pod format to HTML format pod2html pod2latex Converts files from pod format to LaTeX format pod2latex pod2man Converts pod data to formatted *roff input pod2man pod2text Converts pod data to formatted ASCII text pod2text pod2usage Prints usage messages from embedded pod docs in files pod2usage podchecker Checks the syntax of pod format documentation files podchecker podselect Displays selected sections of pod documentation podselect prove A command-line tool for running tests against Test::Harness prove psed A Perl version of the stream editor sed psed pstruct Dumps C structures as generated from cc -g -S stabs pstruct s2p Translates sed to Perl s2p splain Is used to force verbose warning diagnostics in Perl splain xsubpp Converts Perl XS code into C code xsubpp
