Porting tools from matlab to octave

[Douglas Eck]

I have a lot of matlab code to port to octave. It is a very slow
task running the code and waiting for parse errors. Examples:

 a=b(round(end/2):end,:);  ==> a=b(round(size(b,1)/2))):size(b,1),:);

Has anyone taken a stab at writing a perl script which ports
matlab to octave and fixes these simple but annoying syntactic
differences?

Has anyone listed the differences? I guess I'm interested only
in syntactic differences. Clearly semantic differences are much
harder to address with a perl script stuffed full of reg-exps. 

Thanks for any help!
