Indeed, wjw.

I had envisioned many possibilities, over the years. But yours is one that never occurred to me. In spite of the fact I have spent several years working with CNC -- both for metal, and for wood manufacturing. While, in those cases, the cards merely contain routines, which can be re-written, or changed at any time. The one you're introducing seems quite interesting, and seemingly, far more complex. And indeed, could be an ideal application for a Minimal Perl. ++ for bringing it up. :)

I'm all in for this (Minimal Perl), and am more than willing to make the commitment. There's just too many reasons/applications, to overlook it's usefulness.

At this point, for me. It comes down to the "mechanics" of it all. Both to providing Public Resources, and, more importantly, figuring out the best way to accomplish the "actual creation". As to "public resources"; some sort of RCS, VCS will/should be created. But with the myriad of possibilities available. Exactly which will perhaps require some time, and feedback to best determine -- a consensus, from anyone wishing to be involved. I have the resources, to provide for any one of them. I'd also be interested in suggestions, and or pointers, for the best approach to actually create this "Minimal Perl". There seems to be so many possible directions to take. I'd really feel more comfortable hearing from others, before investing much time in a direction, that was not the best choice. :)

Thanks for pointing out another great potential use for Minimal Perl, wjw.
