Hi,
having been a Perl fan for years I have nearly converted to Python.
Still, there are LOTS and very good modules written in Perl.
Is there a tool to lesson the burdon of translation of Perl to Python?
I am completely aware of the fact that a fully automatic translation
to readable Python source is hard if not impossible.
But such a tool could lots of the tedious work like replacing
braces by proper indentation and and similar things.
Thanks for a pointer (if there is one)

Answer: I think they are working on somethig that will allow perl lib usage
in python.
Question: Can someone in the know drop a line?

I went the same way, happy with python now and never looked back.

IMHO language differences leads to different style and I found that
rewriting is better than semi-automatic translation.
I had a project first implemented in perl, than rewrote in python.
Some idioms are completely different, for ex. code blocks in perl are
natural, classes are not.
OTOH classes are natural in python and no unnamed code blocks exists.
The list may be continued on and on.

Hi,
I'm tearing my hair out on this one. I'm trying to embed a Perl
interpreter into a C program. I need to be able to create and destroy
the interpreter periodically, but will never actually have two interpreters
at the same time.
On Red Hat Linux 7.3 with Perl 5.6.1, the attached program segfaults. On
Red Hat 9 with Perl 5.8.0, it works perfectly. Save the program code
as "test-embed-perl.c" and the build script as "buildte". ...

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile
it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of
different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be
compiled with threads.
Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this?
Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to
skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start
happening.

I'm trying to install to php the Perl-1.0.0.tgz package (from
http://pecl.php.net/package/perl, enabling one to call perl libraries)
to a pre-existing Solaris system.
Unfortunately, the attempt fails in a rather dramatic way, spewing out
thousands of "relocation remains"... I'm somewhat lost on what to do
next, the documentation that came along with the Perl package is
somewhat sparse. Anyone have suggestions?

Introduction
Uploading files from a local computer to a remote web server has many useful purposes, the most obvious of which is the sharing of files. For example, you upload images to a server to share them with other people over the Internet. Perl comes ready equipped for uploading files via the CGI.pm module, which has long been a core module and allows users...

Introduction
Many websites have a form or a link you can use to download a file. You click a form button or click on a link and after a moment or two a file download dialog box pops-up in your web browser and prompts you for some instructions, such as “open” or “save“. I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
