in reply to Perl Programming Microcontrollers
Short answer: No.
Long answer: While much of the basics of the language could probably be compiled for a microcontroller, much of what makes perl so useful would be difficult (if possible) to make small enough for use in a microcontroller. You would have to make some serious compromises. Finally, it's said that "only perl can parse perl"1, so it would be a significant undertaking to write the compiler for it. I'm unaware of any attempts to write a compiler for perl that would target a microcontroller.
