Writing a Perl 6 grammar to parse BNF should not be too hard. Writing an emitter to translate that into a Perl 6 grammar should also not be very hard, though I find emitters harder to write. I'm thinking of an architecture similar to Flavio Glock's MiniPerl6. http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/v6/v6-MiniPerl6/lib/MiniPerl6/ > Anyone interested in those ideas? Quite interested, though lacking tuits at the moment. -kolibrie
