Following the great Perl Cookbook (by Tom Christiansen & Nathan Torkington, published by O'Reilly; you can freely browse an excerpt of the book here) which presents a suite of common programming problems solved in the Perl language, this project aims to implement the solutions in other programming languages.

If successful, this project may become a primary resource for quick, handy and free reference to solve most common programming problems using various programming languages, and for comparison on ease-of-use and power/efficiency of these languages.
