in reply to Re^4: Need help to convert short c shell script to perl
in thread Need help to convert short c shell script to perl

I have tried to write a ksh to perl convertor RFC: UNIX shell to Perl converter, and csh has simpler syntax (for a parser, not a user).
I gave up because I found most shell scripts are written very badly, and bad shell scripts converted into really bad perl.
