Perl Cookbook - in Tcl

[Larry Smith]

From http://lwn.net/:

The PLEAC project (http://pleac.sourceforge.net/) plans
to reimplement all of the programs from the Perl Cookbook
(http://lwn.net/2001/0816/a/pleac.php3) in a variety of other
languages. The Perl Cookbook is published by O'Reilly and
was written by Perl heavyweights Tom Christiansen &
Nathan Torkington.

"If successful, this project may become a primary resource
for quick, handy, and free solutions to most common
programming problems using higher-level programming
languages. It could also be useful for comparison on
ease-of-use and power/efficiency of these languages."

PLEAC stands for "Programming Language Examples
Alike Cookbook". The current list of supported languages
includes Perl, Merd, Ruby, Haskell, Python, Masd, and
Nasm. The Merd and Ruby implementations are both
about 25% finished. Python, Haskell, and the assembly
languages are trailing at below 10% completion. The
project maintainer is seeking help for the implementation
of solutions in ocaml, scheme,

, and C++/stl.

Despite the incomplete status, PLEAC already has many
useful examples for the various languages. As it fills out,
PLEAC should become a very handy resource for
programmers who need to reinvent the wheel, a common
task indeed.

I've started on a contribution for Tcl. I've only completed some 36%
of the first chapter yet, but I'm working on it. It's on the site
now, if you look.
