PLEAC
The PLEAC project aims to re-implement the solutions presented in the Perl Cookbook (by Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington, published by O'Reilly) in other programming languages. If successful, this project may become a primary resource for quick, handy, free solutions to most common programming problems using higher-level programming languages. It could also be useful for comparison on ease-of-use and power/efficiency of these languages.

Recent releases
- 22 Jan 2005 13:50
Changes: Python and Ruby contributions have been coming in steadily (both now over 60%). Sizable contributions have been made to Tcl (25%), Ocaml (24%), Ada (26%) and Pliant (9%). Pike has also picked up as of late (14%). R has been added. To simplify using and creating example scripts, an include system has been implemented, allowing scripts and data to live in separate files, which makes them easier to be accessed and used. Standalone scripts are also accessible as links from the Web presentation. There are now graphics that show the evolution of the project over time.
