Perl for Symbian 0.2.0 released

The major new feature is the sisify.pl script which can be used to package either Perl scripts as "native applications" visible in the application menu, or to package Perl modules so that they can be installed under the Perl installation on the phone.

Core-language-wise there is not much news in addition to the usual development and bug fixing, working towards Perl 5.9.3.

As a new extension the newly-included Compress::Zlib is supported, and the IO::Zlib module building on top of that is also included.
