you must start with doing somehow that way for perl.dll to exist on your
device, otherwise you will fail.

cecopy and cemkdir are used to create directory and file copies on WinCE
device, those were downloaded from Rainer's site but those are just trivial
and could be easily built by anyone.

but it is okay to, say, just directly unpack your files using your big PC
where you could operate your CompactFlash driver, for example.

you can try installing, say, perl-5.6.0 for WinCE from Rainer's site. Just
to see how it goes.
