Are there any news on Debian packages? Thank you!

Get RPerl suggests "Coming Soon"

@vadimkantorov Thank you very much for your interest in the Perl compiler! We have partially completed work on generating the Debian packages, are you available to help us finish the task?

Sorry :( I don't have expertise and time resources at this point to help. I was looking for a Perl compiler for a minor hobby project (compiling some TexLive Perl utilities to native binaries), figuring out Perl + Debian packaging would likely turn out way heavier work than the whole hobby project itself :(

Do you happen to have any experience with Ruby?

We already have RPM packages built using the FPM utility combined with the CPANtoFPM utility.

We just need to finish working on CPANtoFPM so it will properly induce FPM to generate correct DEB files in addition to RPM files.
