[stringtemplate-interest] Does a Perl port exist? Anyone interested?

I did a quick search for a perl port on Google and CPAN and did not  
find one.

If it doesn't exist yet I'd like to make it.

I think the procedure would be to take the string template grammar,  
generate a perl target, then write the perl API and engine to use it,  
probably by translating Terrence's Java code for StringTemplate.

Or maybe I can use StringTemplate and ANTLR to make a Java-to-perl  
source translation and then just apply it to the StringTemplate  
sources?  I guess I'd have to de-compile any libraries that it uses so  
I can use the translation on those sources as well.
