I am just writing to say I'm doing a lot of coding in JavaScript lately. It is a very interesting language but it also has some major drawbacks. However, I've found that MacPerl and/or Perl in general helps greatly with the coding of JavaScript. This is because what I do is to make extensive use of the: $theReply = <<END_JAVASCRIPT; blah, blah, blah.... END_JAVASCRIPT construct. So my question is: Has any else used this method of setting things up to code for other languages? My first thought (of course) is AppleScript. But has anyone set up something in MacPerl/Perl to do maybe Think C code or MPW C/Pascal/etc... code? Just a thought. After all, there are a lot of repititious procedures in other languages which would fall into a Perl text processing area quite easily. IMO that is. :-) ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
