Re: Module Submission: Regexp::MultiLanguage

robby.walker@xxxxxxxxx writes:

I'm working on a project where I need to use a set of common regular
expressions in more than one programming language. To facilitate this,
I've written Regexp::MultiLanguage which parses a simple language and
produces code that works in Perl, PHP, and JavaScript. (plus, adding
new languages is easy) Sound useful? Is this already implemented? Is
the name OK?

It sounds like it might be useful, and I've no issues with the name, but
it does sound rather incomplete. What about sed, Java, PCRE, etc?

More to the point I suppose, do you plan to provide a mechanism for users
to add new language support modules? Regexp::MultiLanguage::Java for
instance. If you do provide such a mechanism, then the languages that
happen to be supported by the "core" module becomes much less critical.
