| so are you actually going to write a VBScript to perl parser? I was
actually

lexer

For what it's worth: Some months ago I was facing the problem of moving
several ASP scripted IIS/Microsoft SQL sites to a Unix Apache/mySQL server.
And instead of doing things by hand, I wrote a tool do do the conversion. It
did the trick for the projects I initially intended it for. But after
extending functionality over and over together with a collegue who's perl
knowledge is far less advanced, I finally abonded development of my tool
when it reached 1500 obfuscated lines of perl code and things got unreadible
even for myself. I am planning to do a complete OO rewrite someday - but my
resources are very limited at the moment.
For basic VBScripting and it generates working stand-alone perl scripts
suitable for plain CGI and mod_perl, test it on
http://www.guru4hire.nl/asp2pl
Let me know if someone starts with Parse::VBScript, I am willing to
contribute.
