PLEAC cross-language sample code site

Interesting effort - another Rosetta-Stone kind of programming language site taking all the example code from the Perl Cookbook (vintage 2001) and asking people to submit the equivalent in their language of choice.

This is another source of something along the lines of "transaction patterns", that is, higher-level "things to do" that are implemented in lower-level code.  A semantically oriented declarative language needs to be able to talk at that level.  Maybe instead of "transaction patterns" they should be called "action patterns" or something.  They're at a far lower level than architectural patterns.
