Re: How Many Languages are in Your .pl?

You forgot a few. Some, however, may not be in the .pl or .pm files, but they're part of the overall project.

CSS (it's kinda Turing complete, right?)
Javascript
Template Toolkit (it is its own language, but H::T isn't)
Inline makes embedding languages a (mostly) trivial task

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

I was thinking more of mini-languages, i.e. ones that aren't necessarily Turing Complete, but are very good at solving their own little problem (which does qualify H::T, and certainly H::T::Expr). Except for CSS, I wouldn't call any of those "mini". "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.	[reply]

Hrmmm ... in that case, wouldn't a mini-language be anything that has a defined syntax and an engine that does stuff behind the scenes? That would qualify most non-trivial OO APIs, and I don't think you want to go there. So, personally, I would actually require Turing-completeness for this exercise, Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.

If you require Turing-completeness, then you can eliminate SQL and HTML as languages.	[reply]

I don't particularly like having TC be a requirement, either, as going that direction tends to exclude a lot of stuff. I will admit that "mini-language" may not be a well-defined concept.
