Looks like you will need some modolues too, like File::Basename etc. (so a compiled microperl binary is not enough) Tip if you want to try on an uclibc system (alpine, non leaf - shameless plug, sorry) download latest alpine iso http://dl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.5/iso/ boot it, log in as root and run setup-alpine That will quick configure network for you. Then you: apk_add shorewall subversion perl Now you have the shorewall default configs installed and can: svn co svn co https://shorewall.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/shorewall/trunk/New and play around. You will need some RAM since (128MB should probably be enough) Might give you an idea on memory consumption on an uclibc/busybox system.
