The Perl version of the Tree function is posted. It's a bit long. Please see the code here: http://xahlee.org/tree/Table.html
the choice of having a string as the first argument to Table is a bit awkward in Perl. Possibly i'll have to rewrite it so that the first argument is a function instead, where in each iteration the the variables are fed to the function. This necessarily breaks the Mathematica's syntactical form of Table, and is slightly less flexible in power, but is more natural and practical in non-symbolic languages like Perl, Python, Java. I think the goal of the whole tree functions project http://xahlee.org/tree/tree.html would make the code actually practically useful for processing trees in each language, as opposed to sticking to uniformness of these functions across languages. later on, as we write more tree functions, the whole set will be very useful in processing tree structures, such as XML and many other things spurn from it today.
