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
