INTRODUCTION
Inline::Ruby -- Write Perl subs and classes in Ruby.
Inline::Ruby lets you write Perl subroutines and classes in Ruby. It
dynamically translates the parameters and return values into native data types
for both languages -- and it knows how to "wrap" most other types of data.
Example:
use Inline Ruby => <<'END';
def JAxH(x)
return "Just Another #{x} Hacker"
end
END
print JAxH('Inline'), "\n"
When run, this complete program prints:
Just Another Inline Hacker
==============================================================================
INSTALLATION
This module requires Inline.pm version 0.43 or higher to be installed. In
addition, you need Ruby 1.6.3 or greater installed. (Ruby version down to
1.6.0 will probably work, but the lowest tested version is 1.6.3.) The current
stable version of Ruby, version 1.6.6, is recommended.
To install Inline::Ruby do this:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(On ActivePerl for MSWin32, use nmake instead of make.)
You have to 'make install' before you can run it successfully.
