Well, seeing that I don't currently have any webspace or access to upload to any public ftp site, but I do already have an account on CPAN (and can delete files if I need to), I went ahead and uploaded the file to my directory here. You'll need a PAUSE account to get to it until it makes its way around to public servers (I think thats how it works). This is neither a Lisp compiler nor interpreter yet, and it may be YALM, but I was dissatisfied by the other modules for such basic reasons that I thought an entirely new module was warranted. The module in Lisp-In-Perl was ok, but implemented lists in a way that requires its own garbage collector, which though novel, is sort of absurd when perl can take out the garbage on its own. And the perl-lisp distribution on CPAN implemented lists using arrays, which made using Lisp list functions impossible. And I just wanted to create a more OO way of manipulating the lists. Also I wanted to experiment with autoloading, where I came up with this recursive autoloading routine (which is but one of the things I am looking for input on): Update: It seems to have made its way to CPAN and can be found here. I'm thinking that maybe I should rename it as it might conflict with perl-lisp, because I forgot that some OS's are case-insensitive when it comes to file names.
