If you're familiar with OO programming in Perl you'll quickly get the feel of
NewtonScript.
So much of Perl revolves around linear text files and conventional computer
operating
systems porting it to the Newton wouldn't do a lot of good IMHO, if it were even
possible.
What would be nice to have is a regular expression engine for Newtonscript like
the one in
Perl. Maybe you could work on that :-)

Download the development archive at UNNA (if you haven't done so already) and
give it a
whirl.
