For my part, I've entirely lost track of what's doable in Perl these days (having drifted to Ruby/Python mostly). What are the main opensource pure Perl tools available? How compliant are they? How much of SPARQL (in memory, in SQL, in other things; SPARQL protocol; SPARQL 1.1?) is covered? RDFa? GRDDL? OWL? RIF? N3? POWDER? How do the APIs compare within Perl, and across to other scripting languages? Are the tools happily packaged in CPAN? (and Debian etc, if that's needed?). Are they well tested, actively maintained? Are there things written in other languages but missing in Perl, which might easily be translated? Or vice-versa - eg. pure Perl stuff that could help flesh out the Ruby landscape if someone slogged through and converted it. What's missing and what kind of actions could help? I know it's not the same as a f2f meetup, but I'd love to have some better sense of the Perl RDF landscape... Sorry again to hear this got cancelled. Amazing the amount of trouble a volcano can make... ;) cheers, Dan
