I remember some core Unix utilities reimplemented in Perl, mainly done for Win32 systems back in the day. OFC the performance coudn't compete with the ones written in C, but it was good enough.
- stevekemp 10mo agoYou're thinking of the Perl Power Tools: https://github.com/briandfoy/PerlPowerTools https://github.com/briandfoy/PerlPowerTools I guess there are related projects such as busybox which contain a collection of utilities implemented in a single binary. There are others such as toybox, and various alternatives in different languages, or with different licenses to choose from.
