We've had another hackathon at work. This time Bosko, Bruno, Frederico, Yati, and I hacked on the Perlito Perl5-to-Java compiler.

We started adding unit tests - so that we can automatically extract a list of implemented features; the existing Perl tests are not properly organized "by feature".

The latest additions to the Java backend are:

• "local" and "our" keywords;
• "sort", "map", and "grep" keywords;
• "reverse" and "x" (replicate);
• "for" loops;
• "search/replace" regex;
• allow import of Java classes like 'ArrayList<String>'
• "@ARGV" and "%ENV"
• a README file
