I actually stumbled onto this list while I was searching to see if anyone had come up with a tiny perl cross-compiler/interpreter for use with modern microcontrollers.
Most of the development work I do these days is on Atmel micros which can have quite substantial amounts of memory (still measured in kilobytes :-( ). Development is usually done using GNU C. Perl's string handling, regular expressions and references would be really cool to speed development of reliable code - but there is no way Perl 5 could be shoehorned into a microcontroller!
I was toying with the idea of perhaps using P2C - or else embarking on a project to strip down Perl 4 and squeeze a small interpreter into a microcontroller.
Does anyone know if this wheel has already been invented?
