Status of List::Gen?

jo37 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks and Nuns,

does anybody know about the status of List::Gen and its author? This stuff looks really cool, but apparently there has not been any development for more than 10 years. It has a broken test but seems to work well otherwise. Is Eric Strom aka ASG still active?

Greetings,
-jo

No clue about that, but you might look at FunctionalPerl and functional-perl.org for something maybe similar more recently updated. Edit: Fixed link; iOS Safari did something weird with quote chars on my anchor href. Thx to hippo and kcott for pointing it was broken. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.

> This stuff looks really cool It does! ... but IIRC it's using techniques some would consider "voodoo". Like `overloading` the "diamond operator" `<>` (which is still ok in my book) and parsing for commands inside the enclosed string (hence kind of a source filter) That's how he can implement open intervals like `<1..>` which looks like a syntax error otherwise.
