Hi! Please consider following me on twitter: @hanekomu.

Vote to add Perl support to the Android Scripting Environment!

The O'Reilly Radar reports about the Android Scripting Environment:

Google is bringing scripts to Android. The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) will make development accessible and easy for devs who don't want to build a full-fledge application. [...] Scripts can be run interactively in a terminal, started as a long running service, or started via Locale. Python, Lua and BeanShell are currently supported, and we're planning to add Ruby and JavaScript support, as well.

That's nice, but where's the Perl support?

An issue to add Perl support to ASE has been opened on Google Code. Please add your vote by clicking the star to the left of the issue header.

Vote for Perl support on the Android Scripting
Environment!

Sadly, none of these efforts seem like they will pan out. Google already has an official scripting language, and they pay the principle developer's salary.
