PERL HBM
--------
The Perl extension to HB and the Perl HB Module
General Information
1. DESCRIPTION
In this package you will find two different (although related) things.
The first is an interface for Perl to HB, allowing you to use the
functionality provided by the later from your Perl scripts (Perl
calls HB). You can find that in the perlhb directory.
The second is an HBM allowing you to embed and execute Perl code
inside of your HB scripts (HB calls Perl). You can find that in
the hbperl directory.
It should be noted that the second part of this package depends
on the first. When HB calls Perl, Perl will need to call some of
the functions in HB back if it is to do anything useful. For that
reason, you will need to install the HB extension to Perl if you
plan to use the Perl HBM.
2. REQUERIMENTS
To use this extension you'll need:
- Perl 5.005. We have not tested this distribution in earlier releases
of the Perl interpreter. Do it and let us know if it works.
- HB 1.9.8 or newer. This packages uses functionality recently added
to HB and, for that reason, does not work in older versions.
3. INSTALLATION
See the INSTALL file for instructions on how to build and install
this package.
4. DOCUMENTATION
You can find more information on how to use HB from your Perl scripts
and how to use Perl from your HB files in the doc/ directory or
