in reply to Bringing Logic Programming to Perl

I got the most enlightenment about logic programming from reading the description of the monkey and the banana toy problem as described here.

    Well, this works, but it does show some limitations in the code. I'm adding this to my examples/ directory. Thanks for the pointer.

    use strict; use warnings; use aliased 'AI::Prolog::Parser'; use aliased 'AI::Prolog::Term'; use aliased 'AI::Prolog::Engine'; my $database = Parser->consult(<<'END_PROLOG'); perform(grasp, state(middle, middle, onbox, hasnot), state(middle, middle, onbox, has)). perform(climb, state(MP, BP, onfloor, H), state(MP, BP, onbox, H)). perform(push(P1,P2), state(P1, P1, onfloor, H), state(P2, P2, onfloor, H)). perform(walk(P1,P2), state(P1, BP, onfloor, H), state(P2, BP, onfloor, H)). /* getfood(state(_,_,_,has)). */ /* I'll have to fix this soonish! */ getfood(state(Bogus1,Bogus2,Bogus3,has)). getfood(S1) :- perform(Act, S1, S2), nl, print(S1), print(Act), getfood(S2). END_PROLOG my $parser = Parser->new("getfood(state(atdoor,atwindow,onfloor,hasnot +))."); my $query = Term->new($parser); my $engine = Engine->new($query,$database); print $engine->run;
