-=head1 NAME
-
-perlriscos - Perl version 5 for RISC OS
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-This document gives instructions for building Perl for RISC OS. It is
-complicated by the need to cross compile. There is a binary version of
-perl available from L<http://www.cp15.org/perl/> which you may wish to
-use instead of trying to compile it yourself.
-
-=head1 BUILD
-
-You need an installed and working gccsdk cross compiler
-L<http://gccsdk.riscos.info/> and REXEN
-L<http://www.cp15.org/programming/>
-
-Firstly, copy the source and build a native copy of perl for your host
-system.
-Then, in the source to be cross compiled:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item 1.
-
- $ ./Configure
-
-=item 2.
-
-Select the riscos hint file. The default answers for the rest of the
-questions are usually sufficient.
-
-Note that, if you wish to run Configure non-interactively (see the INSTALL
-document for details), to have it select the correct hint file, you'll
-need to provide the argument -Dhintfile=riscos on the Configure
-command-line.
-
-=item 3.
-
- $ make miniperl
-
-=item 4.
-
-This should build miniperl and then fail when it tries to run it.
-
-=item 5.
-
-Copy the miniperl executable from the native build done earlier to
-replace the cross compiled miniperl.
-
-=item 6.
-
- $ make
-
-=item 7.
-
-This will use miniperl to complete the rest of the build.
