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 (2001-10-13) 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 [L1 ]. 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.
The intent is not to show Tcl solutions to new problems (i.e. problems not mentioned in the Perl Cookbook), or tutorials on how Tcl solutions work.
Peter Lewerin (2004-01-15) The quality of Tcl-PLEAC has been questioned. You can help improve it by looking at it [L2 ] and
If you want to do this, either contact me [L3 ] or join the PLEAC mailing list and post suggestions there.
A recent thread on The comp.lang.tcl newsgroup, beginning at [L4 ] discussed Tcl-PLEAC.
