    Hi People,

    I've just uploaded my updated version of the Lisp2Perl
    translator/compiler - a generaly purpose program for 'compiling' lisp
    programs (which look quite a bit like scheme programs) into efficient
    perl code.

    I've removed the 'include' system which tried to compile included files
    if required and link everything up in the end (it didn't work very
    well). Everything is much simpler and cleaner now. If you want
    everything linked at the end (all the separate compiled lisp files) you
    can do so easily enough ('cat' will do). This also gets rid of the
    messiness of stripping macros since they are not needed at runtime -
    nothing is stripped any more. It also now tracks lexical scopes so that
    it can warn you of references to undefined variables (with
    '(globals-check)'. It still needs work in this area.

    I've been considering implementing a lisp2 version of it too - I started
      (see misc/lisp2.scm in the tarball). It would probably make more sense.
