*Thank you!*
It looks quite good. My problems with it are:

Well, there is a test PROLOG script which runs correctly,
but no, you couldn't give a cpantest pass grade.... I can
change that.

True, and it doesn't install as a usual CPAN module, but again,
I can change that - which means it's no big deal :)

If you do make any changes to Language::Prolog, would you mind sending
them into the list? I've made a few minor changes, and a little POD,
and uploaded them to CPAN, and I'd really like to make some more, and
welcome any input.
It now at least loads PROLOG files, strips single-/multi-line comments,
but doesn't yet handle much else. I'm not really interested in getting
much more functionality, just an equivalent of POPLOG PROLOG on Win32
- basic text output, inline mathematics.
Cheers, and thanks,
