Plang

Plang is a pragmatic scripting language written in Perl.

Why? Because I need a small, yet useful, scripting language I can embed into some Perl scripts I have; notably PBot, an IRC bot that I've been tinkering with for quite a while. Check out its Plang plugin and the plugin's documentation!

I want to be able to allow text from external sources (e.g. untrusted users) to be safely interpreted in a sandbox environment with access to selectively exposed Perl subroutines, with full control over how deeply functions are allowed to recurse, et cetera.

Plang is in early development stage. There will be bugs. There will be abrupt design changes.

See Project Structure for a description of how to navigate Plang's source tree.

For more details see the documentation.
