in thread Which internal DSL are there in Perl? (Domain Specific Languages - Part 1)

Were I an attendee at your presentation, and should your presentation weigh too-heavily on this as a constraining definition of “what a domain-specific language is,” I might find myself a bit thrown-off-the-bus.

Of course, because you didn't get the point. Re-read the OP. This is not about DSLs in general, but about internal DSLs, which can mean: a) a subset of the perl language which addresses some domain, b) a perlish way to write some DSL code.

Diatribing about DSLs in general is not requested and off topic.

    Why bother replying to a worst nodes champion?

    > a) a subset of the perl language which addresses some domain,

    Actually if you mean something like the RegEx engine I'd say it's external.

    Anyway the definition is from the author I mentioned in the OP (Martin Fowler), and might be fuzzy at times.

    > b) a perlish way to write some DSL code.

    Yes, my main interest are DSLs which are implemented using Perl vocabulary and syntactic sugar.
