So I have a perl script I wrote a year or three back. Not bad programming style, but its a pain to work with. Question: I know a full perl to ruby translator is hopeless, the only thing that can parse Perl is perl. Has anyone a "first rough cut" approximate perl to ruby convertor? (It occurs to me translating bytes codes from parrot into ruby may be an easier way...)
