ANNOUNCE: tclperl-3.2
jfon...@free.fr
--- version 3.2 ---
improved windows support by George Petasis, who created a page for
providing binaries for various ActiveState releases (many thanks!):
http://www.ellogon.org/petasis/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=27&Itemid=43
- various fixes in the C syntax that caused errors in VC++ compiler
- Makefile.vc included in distribution for compiling under Windows
- fixes in package index files to ensure that the extensions get
loaded (where the path must be extended to include the DLL,
registry queried to get the correct path...)
### README ###
tclperl version 3.2: a Perl package for Tcl
This package allows the execution of Perl code from a Tcl interpreter,
as in:
package require tclperl
set interpreter [perl::interp new]
$interpreter eval {print "Hello World\n"}
perl::interp delete $interpreter
You can actually create several Perl interpreters this way, if the
tclperl package was linked against a Perl library compiled with
-DMULTIPLICITY, otherwise only 1 Perl interpreter can exist at a time.
Starting with version 3.1, you can also access and use the parent Tcl
interpreter from a Perl interpreter (and even from Perl threads):
package require tclperl
set interpreter [perl::interp new]
puts [$interpreter eval {
$Tcl::parent->eval('clock format [clock seconds]');
}]
perl::interp delete $interpreter
This package works on UNIX machines (Redhat Linux rpms available at
http://jfontain.free.fr/) and Windows (thanks to David Gravereaux,
DLL also available). See INSTALL file for more information.
