I think that the proper thing to have done would have been to write a new CPAN module that's "exactly what you needed," then share it. Nevertheless, it's impossible for every language to be everything to everybody. That's why we invented – and, very regularly use – more than one programming tool. Why try to "re-create gprolog in perl when you've already got gprolog? Why dumpster-dive into "WebASM" if your only motivation for doing so is to say that you have done it? There's utterly no point.
rust recently appeared as a brand-new language because a group of engineers realized that they were facing a brand-new use case that other languages didn't yet cover. So it goes. Perl is a venerable tool in a society of tool-builders.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
