[ #25753 ]

Just as we were getting accustomed to putter's Perl6 on Perl5 work, iblech shocked us all with r5644. I will let the commit log speak for itself:

r5644: iblech | 2005-07-18 01:41:27 +0800
PIL -> JavaScript compiler.

Pugs.Compile: Modified the declaration of PApp to accept an invocant.
Pugs.CodeGen.PIR: Minor changes because of change #1, pugs -BPIR still passes the sanity tests.
New directory perl5/PIL2JS, containing various modules, a README, and pil2js.pl:
$ pugs -CPIL -Ilib6 -MPrelude::JS -we 'say 2 + 3' | \ ./pil2js.pl -html > /tmp/t.html
t/01-sanity mostly pass! (see http://m19s28.vlinux.de/iblech/stuff/not_perm/pil2js-demo/)
t/01-sanity/03-equal.t doesn't pass because of a bug in Pugs.Compile ("3 || 4" is compiled to "&infix:(3, 4)" instead of "&infix:(3, {4})" or something similar.
See perl5/PIL2JS/README for a list of things which already work.

Wow. Seeing 05-sub.t compiled into 05-sub.t.html really made my day. Wow.
