I don't know Perl, but from looking over the source it appears to
require gnat ".ali" files for everything you want converted. And of
course there's the little matter of the Perl interpriter. Its a shame
they couldn't have provided this tool in a format that would work
straight out of the box, rather than requiring you to go download YASC
(yet another scripting language).

Hmmm. I wonder how much work would be involved in porting it to Ada.
OpenToken might be of some help... :-)
