DSL 2011: Conference on Domain-Specific Languages
(IFIP sponsorship pending approval)
6-8 September 2011, Bordeaux, France

* 2011-04-25 : Submissions due
* 2011-06-10 : Authors notified of decisions

CALL FOR PAPERS
Domain-specific languages have long been a popular way to shorten
the distance from ideas to products in software engineering. On one
hand, the interface of a DSL lets domain experts express high-level
concepts succinctly in familiar notation, such as grammars for text or
scripts for animation, and often provides guarantees and tools that
take
advantage of the specifics of the domain to help write and maintain
these particular programs. On the other hand, the implementation of a
DSL can automate many tasks traditionally performed by a few experts
to turn a specification into an executable, thus making this expertise
available widely. Overall, a DSL thus mediates a collaboration between
its users and implementers that results in software that is more
usable,
more portable, more reliable, and more understandable.
These benefits of DSLs have been delivered in domains old and new,
such
as signal processing, data mining, and Web scripting. Widely known
examples of DSLs include Matlab, Verilog, SQL, LINQ, HTML, OpenGL,
Macromedia Director, Mathematica, Maple, AutoLisp/AutoCAD, XSLT, RPM,
Make, lex/yacc, LaTeX, PostScript, and Excel. Despite these successes,
the adoption of DSLs have been stunted by the lack of general tools
and
principles for developing, compiling, and verifying domain-specific
programs. General support for building and using DSLs is thus urgently
needed. Languages that straddle the line between the domain-specific
and the general-purpose, such as Perl, Tcl/Tk, and JavaScript, suggest
that such support be based on modern notions of language design and
software engineering. The goal of this conference, following the last
one in 2009, is to explore how present and future DSLs can fruitfully
draw from and potentially enrich these notions.
We seek research papers on the theory and practice of DSLs, including
but not limited to the following topics.
* Foundations, including semantics, formal methods, type theory, and
complexity theory
* Language design, including concrete syntax, semantics, and types
* Software engineering, including domain analysis, software design,
and round-trip engineering
* Modularity and composability of DSLs
* Software processes, including metrics for software and language
evaluation
* Implementation, including parsing, compiling, program generation,
program analysis, transformation, optimization, and parallelization
* Reverse engineering, re-engineering, design discovery, automated
refactoring
* Hardware/software codesign
* Programming environments and tools, including visual languages,
debuggers, testing, and verification
* Teaching DSLs and the use of DSLs in teaching
* Case studies in any domain, especially the general lessons they
provide for DSL design and implementation
The conference will include a visit to the city of Bordeaux, a tour
and tasting at the wine museum and cellar, and a banquet at La Belle
=C9poque.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
Papers will be judged on the depth of their insight and the extent
to which they translate specific experience into general lessons
for software engineers and DSL designers and implementers. Where
appropriate, papers should refer to actual languages, tools, and
techniques, provide pointers to full definitions, proofs, and
implementations, and include empirical results.
Proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science ( http://info.eptcs.org/) . Submissions and final
manuscripts should be at most 25 pages in EPTCS format.

Message-Id: <11fe5031-fed5-4446-8eff-9dedcb0246ce@x3g2000yqj.googlegroups.com>
I have a simple script

use charnames ':full';
$ReNum = qr/(\\d+[A-Z]?)/i;
$ReNumRng = qr/$ReNum[\N{EN DASH}]$ReNum/;
$Line = "foo";
$Line =~ /$ReNumRng/;

This works in perl 5.8 and I am getting a big error in 5.10.
Constant(\N{EN DASH}) unknown: (possibly a missing "use
charnames ...") in regex
; marked by <-- HERE in m/(?i-xsm:(\\d+[A-Z]?))[\N{EN DASH} <-- HERE ]
(?i-xsm:(\
\d+[A-Z]?))/ at C:\projects\test.pl line 4.
Appreciate any help in resolving this.

The charnames package is definately odd in 5.10
$ cat /tmp/charname
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use charnames ':full';
print "[\N{EN DASH}]\n";
my $enre = qr"[\N{EN DASH}]";
print "$enre\n";
__END__
$ for perl in perl5.6.1 perl5.8.8 perl5.10.1 ; d>
echo $perl
$perl /tmp/charname
echo
done
perl5.6.1

(?-xism:[-])
perl5.8.8

This works for me in 5.10.1:
use charnames ':full';
print "[\N{EN DASH}]\n";
my $dash = "\N{EN DASH}";
my $enre = qr"[${dash}]";
print "$enre\n";
A few quick stabs using eval didn't work.

Perhaps sln could clarify, but I understood him to mean posts along the
line of:
"My CGI blah something:
<p><em><i>not what I expected</i></em></p>"
Posts *about* html (CGI), not posts that *are* html.

My bitter experience tells me that only pain lies along this road you
are taking. Use an HTML parsing module, whose owner has already
undergone the pain (or was, perhaps, such an Perl/HTML guru as to have
avoided it). I use HTML::TreeBuilder but you may choose otherwise.
You've only got to look at the size and complexity of what you've
written, which doesn't yet do what you want, to see the sense of this.
(And by the way, it would be helpful to those who want to help you if
you explained in what way your code is "not doing the job").

Still, it's instructive to make the attempt. A long time ago I
attempted to do something like this by building an RE incrementally,
piece by piece. I failed, but the lessons I learned have stood me in
very good stead, and several times a month I build complex REs the
same way. And guess what? I don't fail!
I'm not saying that the OP should reinvent the wheel, but that the OP
needs to go through the process of reinventing the wheel so he can
understand how the original wheel inventors did it, and then he can
use that knowledge to invent something useful on his own.

My article "Process HTML with a Perl Module" may get you started in the

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I have achieved what I
wanted by just creating HTML comments around the text to remove and
removing that instead, as follows:
$data =3D~ s/<!-- start-top -->.+?<!-- end-top -->//smg;
The article at http://tinyurl.com/64uvzgp set me on the right track.
