I wanted to use perl inline script in a post build command to check weather the kernel
fits in rom for a port of Linux to the sparc Leon Processor. Which requires nested
if then clauses.
First, I could also call an external script but that would require a new file, so inline script
is nicer. Second, I could do the checking with shell if then clauses and expressions
without $ or ', but perl is much nicer to read. Especially if you have hex conversion
and large calculations.
