Parsing, Analysing and Manipulating Perl (without perl)

By:

For over a decade Parse::Perl, a Perl parser written in pure Perl has long been a glittering, intangible, but impossible dream...

But as it turns out, is was only "mostly" impossible.

Adam Kennedy is Australia's most prolific Open Source Perl developer. He is the founder of 2 Perl-based software companies and the author of over 90 CPAN distributions, ranging from the smallest components such as Config::Tiny to the huge and "theoretically impossible" PPI Perl parser. Most of the time, he can be found in his evil laboratory at development startup Phase N, where he works on code generation, Perl application scalability, and a variety of other large and complex Perl projects.
