It would be wonderful :-) It would be even better if the ActiveState people could share either the code for the work they already did or their wisdom so that whoever undertakes the task knows what development paths to avoid. I know they found it quite hard to implement perl in CLR, I guess both in speed and featurewise: their input would be very appreciated and I guess they are listening on this list :-) If there is already more info in the package they provide on the web site, I'll go read that provided I can download it in some useful format (hint, hint). Anyway, implementing perl is hard in any language as also parrot will show soon, when the real guts of perl will need to be implemented. I wonder if the main problem they had was mapping a perl scalar to a System.String? I'd also like to know what system they used for dynamic invocation of methods... lupus / back to System.Reflection.Emit ... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better
