+**perl-cross** provides configure script, top-level Makefile
+and some auxiliary files for [perl](http://www.perl.org),  
+with the primary emphasis on cross-compiling the source.  
+
+    # Get perl and perl-cross sources
+    curl -L -O http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
+    curl -L -O https://github.com/arsv/perl-cross/releases/download/1.1.3/perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz
+
+    # Unpack perl-cross over perl, overwriting Makefile
+    tar -zxf perl-5.24.1.tar.gz
+    cd perl-5.24.1
+    tar --strip-components=1 -zxf ../perl-cross-1.1.3.tar.gz
+
+    # Proceed as usual with most autoconfed packages
+    ./configure --target=arm-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/usr -Duseshrplib
+    make -j4
+    make DESTDIR=/path/to/staging/dir install
+
+Unlike mainline Perl, this configure never runs any target executables,  
+relying solely on compile/link tests and pre-defined hints.  
+On the flip side, it is only meant to run on resonably sane modern unix systems.  
+
+Check [project pages](http://arsv.github.io/perl-cross/) for more info.  
+In particular, [configure usage](http://arsv.github.io/perl-cross/usage.html)
+lists available configure options.
