perl is lisp

[jagh]

This has probably been done before, as simple as it is.

; eval
(print "Just another Perl/Lisp hacker,")

Here are some Perl Monks references on these types of programs:

• The Lighter Side of Perl Culture (Part III): Obfu -- in particular, have a look at the "Multi-Lingual" and "References" sections (search for polyglot)
• The Best Ever
• Hello World in four languages... at the same time
• Polyglot Japh

The largest polyglot I know of is 8 languages

[mr_mischief]

I wonder what the record really is. Surely it'd be difficult to top eight languages.

Now I'm pondering polyglots that are also quines...

There's a polyglot quine (in haskell, scheme, and ocaml). As the title says.. true pathology :)
