Nokia to Port Perl to Mobiles

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-just-for-dialing-scripts dept.

jonknee writes "MobileTracker notes that Nokia has made it clear that the Perl scripting language is coming to its popular Series 60 devices. This will be a huge boon to mobile software. Just look what happened to the web when CGI got popular. A time frame was not announced."

    Big question - does it have an SSH client?

    What? For the Nokia Series 60 platform? Yes!

    I SSH into my workplace UNIX box from my Nokia 3650 moderately regularly. The SSH client for SymbainOS is a port of PuTTY and can be found here.
