DESCRIPTION

This module embeds a MoarVM based Rakudo Perl 6 and allows you to run Perl 6 code, load Perl 6 modules, use methods of Perl 6 objects and much more. Please look at https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5 for more information about usage.

INSTALLATION

This module requires an up to date Rakudo with an enabled MoarVM backend. The perl6 executable needs to be in your PATH when you run Makefile.PL. You need to install the Inline::Perl5 Perl 6 module which this module is based on. You may do this using the "panda" or "zef" Perl 6 module installer:

  panda install Inline::Perl5
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

Please note that if you have multiple perl installations (e.g. with perlbrew), you have to use the exact same perl for installing Inline::Perl5 and Inline::Perl6.

EXPORT

None by default.
