Take a look at the Wikipedia entry for Perl for more details.<br><br>Even if you _could_ parse Perl and implement all of its (difficult) semantics, Perl is in a state of flux between Perl 5 and Perl 6, so which horse do you bet on? Unlike Ruby 1.8/2.0 or Python 2.5/3.0, the implementation and syntax changes between Perl 5 and 6 are _radically_ different. Implementing one doesn't really get you close to having an implementation for the other, so you don't get the twofer that you get with Ruby or Python.Daniel Bergerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05224445093970941579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704664917418794835.post-10133087372924100252008-03-09T04:06:00.000-07:002008-03-09T04:06:00.000-07:00Finally...
