A co-worker said that he doesn't believe he was dreaming when he thought
he saw a website which contained a translator that would convert Ada
code
into Perl/CGI script.
Was he dreaming, or does such really exist? Interesting translator, if
it
exists.

These dont convert Ada to Perl/CGI, but might be what your friend saw:

or

Thank you. I will pass it along to him at work tomorrow. I clicked on
the links
and briefly scanned them. Will spend more time tomorrow reading them.
Thanks,
Bruce

That would be my guess too. He's probably suffering under the impression
that CGI=Perl, thus any Ada CGI program would have to be converted to
Perl at some point...

When I first started learning Perl, I couldn't think of CGI without
thinking
Perl. I am still not sure I but what I still tend to do that.

Well the new Ada.CGI package that comes with the latest
versions of GNAT should help break that bad habit :-)

Ada.CGI? Not GNAT.CGI?

Oops, I meant GNAT.CGI indeed (Ada.CGI would be an illegal
extension of the language :-)

Isn't an implementation free to add children to existing
language-defined library packages? (GNAT does so.)

Not to package Ada (see A.2(4) and the associated AARM text).
Grandchildren of Ada are OK.
GNAT does *not* add any children to Ada.

An implementation can add grand-children, but not children
to the Ada hierarchy. This is perfectly clear in the RM:
Legality Rules
4 In the standard mode, it is illegal to compile a child of
package Ada.

In which versions of GNAT can this be found. I could not find it in
ALT's distribution GNAT 3.13p, but I can have missed it. Is there any
place to find the source of it.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. (from RFC 1925)
