Just an FYI: DBD::Teradata runs on a Theraphone (which runs PocketPC) via 3G wireless, as well as on Zaurus via WiFi. See www.presicient.com/terapocket for some simple screenshots....
BTW: if you try porting other DBD's that work remotely, be aware that the ARM float format is slightly different than Intel, so any pack/unpack to/from float may need a little extra TLC. Also, how is the bootstrap performance on the e740 ? On the Z its pretty poky, and the Theraphone is a bit worse... And has anyone tried DBD::PgPP (or is it PPPg ?) What other pure Perl DBD's are there ? DBD::Proxy ?
