gumstix

Jeff,

I've been using gumstix microperl and have been quite happy with it.  As to
it being huge, it's about 1.6MB.

So called "microperl" compiles (stripped) to 1,309,584 bytes for the 
gumstix.  That is a version of Perl5 with no "package" support.  Still 
pretty big.

However, if you like Perl4 (like I do), then it is only 334,312 bytes 
stripped.  If there is any interest, I'll make it available.

Best regards,

Bruce

The 1.6mb size I quoted is for microperl with some patches to fix syscalls
and environment variables as well as enable package support.  Any packages
you use will of course add to this size.
