Re: Lisp to Perl compilation

I find your project very appealing. I've come to like a lot Common Lisp, just after I've managed to learn Perl, so all the learning effort has to restart :-) Do you plan to state any open source licensing scheme to Lisp2Perl ? Does it include an interactive top level read-eval-print-loop? Or is it just compile-and-run ? The main adventage that I see for the whole effort is cpan modules availability for lisp programs. Thanks indeed.

Glad it interests you. I really ought to spend more time learning common lisp myself. I guess I'll release it under the same license terms as perl itself (GPL/Artistic). It does include a top level REPL - just download, unpack the tarball and type `perl rep.scm.pl`. I've been using that a lot myself. I run it from within emacs in an inferior scheme buffer so that I can edit lisp function defs and forms and evaluate them straight away. It's a great way to develop code interactively. I wish I could do it like that for perl.	[reply] [d/l]
