Use Perl to port Windows DLLs to Palm OS

developerWorks writes "Porting existing Windows DLLs to Palm OS has historically been a tedious process. This article introduces you to an interesting technique that makes this process easier by using Perl. It demonstrates a Perl script that analyzes existing C source code and automatically generates many of the source files required for porting. You should be able to use the code outlined in the article to help with your own porting projects."

When was the last time anybody needed to port a Windows DLL to PalmOS? I can't think of many libraries that would be used on both Windows and PalmOS --- the two have completely different interfaces and OS architectures, AFAIK.

Somebody slap me if I'm wrong, though.
