NAME

Sidef::Types::Perl::Perl

DESCRIPTION

This class implements support for evaluating arbitrary Perl code inside a Sidef script.

The result is implicitly converted into a Sidef data structure.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
var obj = Perl('my $x = 42; sqrt($x)')
var res = obj.eval
            
          

METHODS

code

            

              
              
obj.code
            
          

Returns the Perl code as a String object.

new

            

              
              
var obj = Perl(perl_code)
            
          

Builds and returns a new Perl object, given a string that contains Perl code.

numeric_version

            

              
              
Perl.numeric_version
            
          

Returns the version of Perl as a Number object (e.g.: 5.036).

run

            

              
              
obj.run
Perl.eval(perl_code)
            
          

Evaluates the Perl code and returns a Sidef data structure.

Aliases: eval, execute

tie

            

              
              
Perl.tie(variable, class_name, *args)
            
          

Binds a variable to a package class and returns the result as an object.

Example:

            

              
              
require('DB_File')
var h = Hash()   # variable of HASH type
var o = Perl.tie(h, "DB_File", "file.db", File.O_RDWR | File.O_CREAT, 0666, %perl<$DB_File::DB_HASH>)
h{"foo"} = "bar"
o.sync
            
          

to_s

            

              
              
obj.to_s
            
          

Dumps the Perl object as a String object.

Aliases: dump, to_str

to_sidef

            

              
              
Perl.to_sidef(perl_structure)
            
          

Converts a given a Perl data structure into a Sidef data structure.

untie

            

              
              
Perl.untie(variable)
            
          

Unbinds a tied variable.

version

            

              
              
Perl.version
            
          

Returns the version of Perl as String object (e.g.: "v5.36.0").
