CSS::LESSp - LESS for perl. Parse .less files and returns valid css (lesscss.org for more info about less files)

  use CSS::LESSp;

  my $buffer;
  open(IN, "file.less");
  for ( <IN> ) { $buffer .= $_ };
  close(IN);

  my @css = CSS::LESSp->parse($buffer);

  print join("", @css);

or you could simply use the lessp.pl tool in the package

  $ lessp.pl css.less > css.css

This module is designed to parse and compile .less files in to .css files.

About the documentation and syntax of less files please visit lesscss.org

What is the benefits of LESS for perl ...

It's extremely fast :

  # time ./lessp.pl big.less > big.css

  real    0m2.198s
  user    0m2.174s
  sys     0m0.020s

  # time lessc big.less big.css

  real    0m18.805s
  user    0m18.437s
  sys     0m0.184s

Main parse method, returns array of the css file

a ) You can not import other less files ...

You can't do this

  @import url('/other.less')

It might be added in future versions

b ) You can not use hsl as a color

You can't do this

  color: hsl(125,125,125);
