- Perl in general:
- Add ftw or find?
- Add a parsing mechanism (user specifies parse tree, perl parses).
- Arbitrary precision arithmetic.
- File calculus (e.g. file1 = file2 + file3, file1 =^ s/foo/bar/g etc.)
-
- MS-DOS version of Perl:
- Add interface to treat dBase files as associative arrays.
- Add int86x function.
- Handle the C preprocessor.
- Provide real pipes by switching the processes. (difficult)
- Provide a list of ioctl codes.
- Check the ioctl errno handling.
- I can't find an easy way in Perl to pass a number as the first argument
- to ioctl. This is needed for some functions of ioctl. Either hack
- ioctl, or change perl to ioctl interface. Another solution would be
- a perl pseudo array containing the filehandles indexed by fd.
