NAME

Inline::Pugs - Inline Perl 6 code in Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

use Inline Pugs => '
    sub postfix:<!> { [*] 1..$_ }
    sub sum_factorial { [+] 0..$_! }
';
print sum_factorial(3); # 21

DESCRIPTION

Is it Perl 5? Is it Perl 6? It's neither, it's both. It's Inline::Pugs!

The Inline::Pugs module allows you to insert Perl 6 source code directly inline in a Perl 5 script or module.

CAVEATS

Currently, only the Perl 5 side can invoke subroutines defined from the Perl 6 side, but not vise versa. This whole thing is just a proof of concept -- use it at your own risk. :-)
