JavaScript::V8 - Perl interface to the V8 JavaScript engine
use JavaScript::V8;
my $context = JavaScript::V8::Context->new();
$context->bind_function(write => sub { print @_ });
$context->eval(q/
for (i = 99; i > 0; i--) {
write(i + " bottle(s) of beer on the wall, " + i + " bottle(s) of beer\n");
write("Take 1 down, pass it around, ");
if (i > 1) {
write((i - 1) + " bottle(s) of beer on the wall.");
}
else {
write("No more bottles of beer on the wall!");
}
}
/);
See V8 issue 413 if you are having trouble on gcc 4.4.1.
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8 cd v8 scons library=shared sudo mv include/v8.h /usr/local/include/ sudo mv libv8.so /usr/local/lib/
If you're using a 64-bit architecture, you need to include arch=x64 when running scons:
scons library=shared arch=x64
Otherwise, perl will complain when trying to link/load v8. For more information, see V8 issue 330.
On OS X I've successfully used Homebrew, install Homebrew then:
brew install v8
On Ubuntu 10.04 (and possibly Debian), the library and header files can be installed by running:
sudo aptitude install libv8-2.0.3 libv8-dev
Similar packages may be available for other distributions (adjust the package names accordingly).

I stole and adapted pieces of docs and API design from JavaScript.pm
For salvaging the code of V8.pm from a message board (which I took some code and the idea from)
