Jperl
Now that MarpaX::Languages::ECMA::AST is on the road, I can start effectively my exciting project: Jperl, i.e. JavaScript engine writen in perl thanks to the only but so great BNF parser: Marpa.

Following a discussion with module-authors, the name will be JavaScript::Transpile.
Have you spoken to the maintainers of Javascript.pm and asked them about their plans? It hasn't had an update for two years.
If you use the namespace Javascipt.pm or make Javascript.pm a wrapper around your module then, in theory at least, modules which depend on Javacript.pm should work a bit better.
For example, I've wanted to use JS::JSLint as part of a project test suite for several years. I've never managed to get it to install. On two occasions I've spent a whole morning messing about with it and given up.
Part of the problem is that Spider Monkey is difficult to install and is not provided as a package on many Linux distributions.
Another problem is the Javascript.pm installation process doesn't appear to be very good at detecting Spider Monkey once it is installed. I found myself patching that.
I've never actually got as far as JS::JSLint!
Duncan,
I'll can provide functions similar to this module if you want - I personnally also gave up with JavaScript and also with JE -;
That would be great.
