I think the bigger issue might be that it would produce such butt ugly code that no one would use it (and I'm not cracking on python here). I think you'd end up using Deparse for getting you 90% there but then you'd run into edge cases that would force you to look at the walking the pad and stack trace. Also maybe perldoc perlguts That said, I wouldn't mind helping with such a project. It would be a great way to get really intimate with both languages and interpreters (and the p5p group). It would also get me closer to figuring out static analysis of interpreted languages.
