WebPerl looks cool. I wrote an interactive blog post [1] that guides the reader through an exercise in scraping log files using a series of Perl one-liners. I ended up delegating execution to a sandboxed Lambda function on the backend, but running it client-side would have been a lot simpler.

WebPerl is fascinating, I'm hoping at some point the author talks to the rest of the perl community so we can compare notes.

If we want to be extra crazy it should be possible to combine rakudo.js and WebPerl to have Inline::Perl5 working in the browser.

I've already spoken with Hauke at great length on #perl11, and he has formally joined the Perl 11 development cooperative, as evidenced by the recent addition of WebPerl to the Perl11.org website.
