Message-ID: Date: 9 Nov 90 17:49:43 GMT Sender: mitch@hq.afcsa.af.mil Organization: Air Force HQ, The Pentagon Lines: 15 Has anyone ever considered writing a PERL compiler?? Yes, I know PERL compiles it's self (sort of) and you can dump core and then undump it into an executable. I was thinking more of something on the lines of a C-compiler -- maybe as some sort of front end to gcc ?? Just wondering. Even if this message gets alot of BOOs, I still think it would be a nifty project -- maybe for a compiler class. -- ..mitch mitch@hq.af.mil (Mitch Wright) | The Pentagon, 1B1046 | (703) 695-0262 ``A system without PERL is like a hockey game without a fight.'' -- Mitch Wright
