NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its
aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few
minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry
about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script
can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against
a given target.

NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts
that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web
server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python
or whatever scripting language to do this.
