Are there any good tutorials for writing perl cell phone programs?

[Steve]

I wanted to know if there were any decent sites out there that have
tutorials for creating perl programs on cell phones.

What cell phones support Perl?

A friend of a friend works at a company that makes programs for cell
phones and apparently they use perl...
No smart phones support perl? Really?

Nokia N900 (Maemo) does. The upcoming Meego which is the followup to
Maemo also should. I've used Maemo on the N800/N810 tablets and it
works fine, just another ARM port of Linux.

The iPhone can also run Perl.

It's hardly a mainstream phone app-dev language. I'd guess you might be
able to hack Perl and maybe even Perl/Tk onto an Android, Maemo, WebOS
phone or Jailbroken iPhone but I suspect you'd have no market for your
app. I think you'd be much better off looking at Java ME or perhaps
proprietary SDKs like the Objective-C SDK for iPhone. I love Perl but I
don't use it for everything.

I'd look at Java ME. YMMV.

Just my ¤0.02 worth.
