I am investigating options for analyzing, and refactoring, legacy Perl code. Ideally, the tools would be in a high-level language like Haskell. I found [Pugs][1] and (related) [Language.Perl5][2] but both appear dead. Is there something for Perl that would provide what [hack][4] provides for PHP, and [typescript][5] for JS? (Perhaps I should write a Perl to PHP compiler.) Yes, I know that [Perl is not parseable][3]. - J.W.
