Inspired by the new iPad ...

Okay, I can't take credit for it.  The Onion had this great story about the amazing power of the iPad.  That made me think - I wonder if you can could now use Perl on the new iPad from Apple.  I'm still not sure.  But, you can read several of your favorite books on the new Apple iPad.  I couldn't really find anyone scripting Perl on the new Apple iPad so not much more to say except to quote The Onion "new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad, new iPad."

  1. AFAIK, it is possible to use Perl on iPhone. So it should be possible to use on iPad.

  3. try to use cpanm to install modules instead of cpan to avoid out-of-memory
