NAME

Inline::Rakudo - allow to use Rakudo from Perl 5 code

SYNOPSIS

OOP way

  use Inline::Rakudo;

  my $rakudo = Inline::Rakudo->rakudo;
  my $code  = <<'END_CODE';
  sub f($n) {
    return $n+1;
  }
  END_CODE
  
  # compile the code
  $rakudo->run_code($code);   

  # run the code (the answer should be 42)
  my $answer = $rakudo->run_code('f(41)');
  
  # provide the parameters separately
  my $other = $rakudo->run_sub('f', 41);
  

Inline way

  use Inline::Rakudo qw(f);

  my $code  = <<'END_CODE';
  sub f($n) {
    return $n+1;
  }

  sub g($a, $b, $c) {
    return $a+$b+$c;
  }

  END_CODE
  
  # compile
  $rakudo->run_code($code);

  # call it as a regular function
  my $answer = f(41);


  # this does not exist as we have not imported it
  g(1, 2, 3); 

WARNING

This is an alpha version of the module. Its API can change without notice.

SETUP

Needs the following environment variables: RAKUDO_DIR needs to point to the Rakudo directory PARROT_DIR needs to point to the directory where parrot was checked out export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PARROT_DIR/blib/lib/

cwd still needs to be PARROT_DIR or I get the following error:

  "load_bytecode" couldn't find file 'PCT.pbc'
  current instr.: '' pc 743 (src/classes/Object.pir:20)
  called from Sub 'myperl6' pc 3 (EVAL_1:3)

 Before running I had to build Parrot::Embed:
 
  cd $ENV{PARROT_DIR}/ext/Parrot-Embed/
  perl Build.PL
  perl Build
  perl Build test
