Re: Perl grammar for Perl5 -> Perl6

2005-12-08 Thread Scott Walters
Hi Peter, There are several source filters that make select changes and modules that give select Perl 6 features to Perl 5. All in all, there's a lot there -- I've written Perl6::Contexts, for example, which diddles the bytecode to give Perl 5 programs most of the new contexts from Perl 6. In fac

Oh, sorry... Larry Wall didn't actually to Phoenix-pm. At least not that I know of. This was a forward from me. Thought ya'll might find this interesting... on a Perl 5 level, in a Perl 6 sort of way, and also on the subject of software refactoring. -scott On 0, Larry Wall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> w

Is there such a Perl5->Perl6 translator underway? I started toying with one, but didn't get very far yet. PPI (on CPAN) would be a good way to start, but it needs to be extended to be used as a Perl5->Perl 6 translator. Greetings, Christian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://christian.web42.com

Dear Perl6 Language, I am Perl user from near year 0. For me the easiest way to learn (, track, and get to the point of contributing to) Perl6 would be a Perl grammar (a regex rule set in, preferably, Perl6) that transforms any Perl5 script into a Perl6. Of couse, besides learning Perl6 for a r
