The PLEAC project at http://pleac.sf.net/ project is an effort to re-implement examples from the O'Reilly Perl Cookbook in various  other languages.

[Peter Lewerin] (2001-19-13) I did not begin this page, but as current author of the Tcl version, I'd like to comment on it and clarify the role of Tcl-PLEAC as compared to the Wiki and the [BOOK ActiveState Tcl Cookbook].  As I see it, Tcl-PLEAC is the Tcl part of a programmer's Rosetta stone [http://www.rosetta.com/RosettaStone.html].  It demonstrates how a fixed set of solutions ''originally expressed in Perl'' can be alternatively expressed in Tcl.  The purpose is to make it possible for people to compare similar solutions in a number of languages.

Tcl-PLEAC is '''not''' the place to post Tcl solutions to new problems (i.e. problems not mentioned in the Perl Cookbook).  It is '''not''' the place to put extended demonstrations on how Tcl solutions work.

You can still help improve the Tcl-PLEAC by looking at it [http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_tcl/t1.html] and suggesting code improvements and links to related Tcl documentation/source.  If you want to do that, either contact me [mailto:peter.lewerin@swipnet.se] or join the PLEAC mailing list and post suggestions there.

A recent thread on [The comp.lang.tcl newsgroup], beginning at [http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&selm=9nihhm%24g6n%244%40srv38.cas.org] discussed Tcl-PLEAC.
