Bob posted (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2229) about Gmail-lite before, a Perl-based PHP script that provides Gmail access to mobile browser.

Now there is another tool called Gmail-mobile (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmail-mobile/) 0.1, also PHP-based, which allows you to access your GMail account with any WAP phone (WML format).

It seems to be very trivial to rewrite this script to have it output mobile-friendly html instead of WML. Any volunteers? (edit: Gmail-lite does that, plus it is also in PHP. Thanks to rclodfelter for correcting me).

I just looked at Gmail-Lite and it is Php not perl.

Oups, I could have sworn I saw Perl code (.pl). Thanks for the correction!

The code is a lot like Perl, wish it was!

I used to code in Perl in the past, but nowadays 99% of my scripts are PHP-based. Don't ask me why, I guess it is just out of habit.
