### Perl and Undecidability
|
This is the series in which I presented the proofs that Perl parsing is not, in general, decidable.  The articles assume a basic knowledge of Perl, but no familiarity with proofs, Theory of Computation, the Halting Problem, or any of that.  They appeared in successive issues of [_The Perl Review_][2].
Part 1: "The Halting Problem", in _The Perl Review_, Volume 4, Issue 2, Spring 2008, pp. 21-25.  [Download][3].  [Revisions and Corrections][4].
Part 2: "Rice's Theorem", in _The Perl Review_, Volume 4, Issue 3, Summer 2008, pp. 23-29.  [Download][5].  [Revisions and Corrections][6].
Part 3: "Perl Is Undecidable", in _The Perl Review_, Volume 5, Issue 0, Fall 2008, pp. 7-11.  [Download][7].
