Yes, actually you do. I just read through the 74 some odd slides and agree. The talk would have been even better, but the slides will set you on the right course—imagine a GCC that emits Perl! More to the point, the link will show you just how quickly and easily you can develope a small language in Perl for your target audience. On the other hand, if you feel you really must develope your own language, I'd recomend starting with Constructing Language Processors For Little Languages, by Randy M. Kaplan.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
