I gained access to a device equipped with wince4.2 recently.
I found out that existing binaries are working, so you probably do not need
to do recompilation.

However, if you do recompiling, its okay.

Nice to hear this.

BTW desktop tools from Rainer Keuchel also contain an executable to run on
Windows which makes WinCE device to execute some binary.
This is actually one single call however.

As I mentioned, I do not know.
And I have no real possibility to investigate.

The most I can advice for you is to read through SDK documentation provided
with EVC, and, once you'll get C code to solve your task, you'll be able to
create Perl module to do that.

In case you want to know details how to cross-compile Perl module for WinCE,
please refer to http://perlce.sourceforge.net for advice.


In case you find those advices not clear enough, please feel free to send me
improvements :)
