The [PLEAC] project at http://pleac.sourceforge.net/ project is an effort to re-implement examples from the O'Reilly Perl Cookbook in various other languages.  It demonstrates translation of solutions originally expressed in Perl.  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), that's for the [BOOK ActiveState Tcl Cookbook], or tutorials on how Tcl solutions work.

The main page isn't updated very often.  The CVS page is here: [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pleac/pleac/pleac/].  Even that can be out of date.

[Peter Lewerin] I started the Tcl version, and I continue (on and off) to add to it.

(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.
