Evaluate Perl code from within an app, and support Perl scripting of your app.
.package(url: "https://github.com/freysie/perl-core.git", from: "0.1.0")import PerlCoreOnline documentation is available at freysie.github.io/documentation/perlcore.
The PerlCore framework provides the ability to evaluate Perl code from within Swift-based apps. You can also use PerlCore to insert custom objects into the Perl environment.
let interpreter = PerlInterpreter.shared
interpreter["prefix"]!.asString = "Just "
let script = "$prefix . reverse q(rekcaH lreP rehtonA)"
let result = interpreter.evaluateScript(script)
assert(result.asString == "Just Another Perl Hacker")PerlCore 0.1.0 includes Perl 5.30.3.
The ability to create multiple interpreters may be added, and PerlInterpreter.shared removed. (This requires building Perl with -Dusemultiplicity.)
To better support the App Store guidelines, all modules should ideally be embedded in the binary. In this case, to avoid bloat, a script for customizing the Perl distribution may be added.
A complete build script for building libperl.xcframework for every platform is currently under development.
Based on Dan Kogai’s blog post about Perl in Swift.
