Re^4: strange behavior of JSON parsing guru regex by seki (Monk) on Apr 15, 2022 at 12:39 UTC
The intent was to have a bare-bones self-contained http client with integrated json parser in order to be used on hosts not connected to the internet where only a system Perl 5.16.3 is available and where the installation of an additional package is tedious as I have no root access. Also the number of hosts is high, and the setup is not always the same. So my goal is to keep on a single tools similar to swaks for SMTP. The result is published on https://github.com/sebkirche/pcurl/ I must confess that I later added a pure Perl support for xml by simply embedding XML::TreePP in the script, but I was challenged to understand and fix that power-regex parser. Also the development is still in-progress and I am adding the possibility to do recursive site retrievals in a way similar to wget The best programs are the ones written when the programmer is supposed to be working on something else. - Melinda Varian	[reply]
