I would start with getting somebody in the Perl world to rewrite it first (at least the build mechanism). It has native code that is just not going to be easy to cross-compile the way it is without serious effort and hacking. If it was ANY kind of sane, modern, perl build system I would have it done already and collected the bounty. The bounty is an order of magnitude too low for the effort it would take me to get it to work (and that might still be an underbid by a factor of 2 or more). You might be better off contracting someone to meet the API in a new perl module. Perhaps the maintainer of meta-cpan?</div><div><br></div><div>--Tim</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div></div><div>Ross </div></font></span></div></div></div>
