Hi and Happy new year.
Is there anywhere perl script converter to other languages like c++ or c#?
If yes, can you please give me link to it, or can you write this code:

PERL

foreach $pair (split('&', $form)) 
   {
   if ($pair =~ /(.*)=(.*)/) 
     {  
      ($key,$value) = ($1,$2);    
      $value =~ s/\+/ /g; 
     $value =~ s/%(..)/pack('c',hex($1))/eg;
	  $value =~ s/%0D%0A/ /eg;
      $inputs{$key} = $value;   
     }
  }

in c++ or c#?

I think this small piece of code is a good exercise to translate it by yourself :-)

I can feel with you after a closer look to the ~~pearl~~ perl code.

It is perl, just in case to fix your typo ;-)

This is a counter-productive approach. Suppose someone "convert" it (white analogous code, in fact) in C++ or C#, now what? You still don't know those languages and technologies (it you knew them, you would do this work by yourself). So, what would you do with that new code? Please understand: no one likes to waste one's time on something useless.

Not only this, it also looks like some sort of homework or assignment.

we do not learn in school c#, c++ or perl. only pascal, only hardcore.
we have homework for vacation to convert numbers into binary, if you're interested.
и не стоит поливать тут никого говном, ребятки

I did not allow you to address to me with bad words and in this style. Don't try to hide your rudeness behind Russian language. This is not offensive to me, but to great Russian culture.
Nobody tried to tell you something bad. Not only criticized you politely and it should get you a clue for more productive approach. (Yes, I read about your motivation, thank you for explanations.) Please promise that I won't hear rude works from you anymore; then we could continue.
Thank you.

I think if you took the time to run the script with a variety of appropriate inputs, and then examine its outputs (or side effects ?), and then posted a straightforward description of what the script does, and made a start towards implementing that in C#, you'd find people here willing to assist you.

It doesn't quite work like that.
We do not do your work for you, either homework or your paid job.
If you want someone to write your code, you have to pay - I suggest you go to Freelancer.com and ask there.

But be aware: you get what you pay for. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

I assume that you didn't write the perl code, and have no idea how it works (and possibly have no idea how perl works either) - so I'd start by looking at what the code is meant to do and working out how to implement that in C# or C++. Translating blindly between languages (with the exception of VB and C# which are pretty much interchangeable) is not normally a good approach: what works well in one language is very rarely an optimal solution in another. Just look at what works in native C++ and how it should be done in C# and you will get the idea - and they share a huge amount of syntax in common!

Your C or C# program can invoke the perl shell as an external command.

Here is a C# example.

Your C program can link to the Perl interpreter directly.

This only makes sense as an isolated exercise to venture into new territory.
If the source language (perl in this case) is too dense, translate it first into some invented pseudo code. Name each operation with a function name (e.g. substitute all ocurances of pattern X in variable Y by text Z, and assign it back to variable Y, etc.).
With this, the original code is understood. You may now try to find matching functionality in the target language. Translate it from there...
