Re: perl under eldk for ppc8xx

If you can complete the configure step on the MPC862, then you should be able to
cross compile the rest.  You may have to play some games w/ swap to complete the
configure.  (For instance, enable swap over NFS or on a compact flash device..
just be aware swap is a quick way to burn out a CF card..)
