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 [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.

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 [http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_tcl/t1.html] and

   * flag errors or just bad style
   * suggest code improvements
   * provide references to related Tcl documentation/source

If you want to do this, 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.
