Hello, I have been tinkering (as no doubt probably others) the idea of extending firefox to use parrot ... the continuing rise of web apps in the browser and js monopoly over these apps means there is a wide opportunity here
Imagine: <script type="application/x-perl"> use warnings; say "Hello World"; </script> or <script src="someperlfile.pl"/> Some work would have to go into exposing the web page as an object to be worked with (as DOM is the natural way in firefox, might be the way to initially go) I thought that this was a neat way https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3002 of possibly achieving client context perl processing but then thought it would be better to integrate the entire parrot (akin to java plugin). There are the obvious problems of compat across all browser (esp IE) and platforms but its easy enough to install a Mozilla plugin in a single click (like firefox addon/extensions). thoughts ?
