Running a Perl script on Android

Question

I need to run a Perl script (isohybrid.pl) from my Android app. I came across perl-android-apk project which seems just what I need. It comes as an eclipse project and you can build what you need from this base. The problem is that I need this inside my own project.

So my question is how can I incorporate this inside my own project? I am open to other suggestions about running a Perl script on Android too - however, the Perl interpreter needs to be contained in my APK.

Answer 1

The APK site is hosted on Google Code, so if you know how to use git, you should be able to pull the source code down using their site:

https://code.google.com/p/perl-android-apk/

Once you do that you can use Eclipse's Import utility to import the code as an Android project. This should give you the pre-APK version of the code, which you can add as a dependency to your existing project.
