It's currently possible to build a version of Golly that supports running Perl scripts. I doubt anybody is actually doing that these days, especially given the problems we had trying to keep up with ABI changes whenever a new version of Perl was released, so I'd like to remove ALL Perl-related code. This will simplify quite a lot of code, especially when Golly tries to detect what type of script to run when the user selects File > Run Clipboard. (Currently you can get a silly message about Perl if you accidentally have RLE data in the clipboard.) Anybody here use Perl with Golly, or know someone who does? Any objections to removing Perl as an option? Andrew |
