[mercury-users] Leveraging Perl

[Terrence Brannon]

The amount of free modules available from the Perl community is
staggering. I have often longed to simply drop Perl and become a
Mercury expert, but for pragmatic reasons it may be better to marry
the two. What would be the best way to take advantage of Perl
functionality within Mercury?

The two general approaches would be a Perl-to-Mercury compiler or
some sort of C interface to the Perl interpreter.

The problem with a compiler is that Perl code is by-and-large
less-typed than Mercury code.
