Are perl5 libraries are importable in perl6?
perl, raku
Solution
Use Inline::Perl5 to embed arbitrary Perl code in Raku or `use` Perl libraries as if they were Raku libraries.
Inline::Perl5 appropriately packages and wraps a regular perl interpreter in MoarVM so that Rakudo can interop with Perl. The combination already supports:
- `use`ing Perl modules, including ones that use XS, in Raku
- Using Perl objects in Raku and vice-versa
- Writing, in Raku, sub-classes of Perl classes
nine, the author of the Inline::Perl5 module, has done some presentations about it and its use that are available on youtube:
- A 3 minute lightning talk about Inline::Perl5 that nine presented the day after the project began in 2014;
- Longer presentations about Inline::Perl5.
Problem
I know that perl6 will definetely allow importing perl5 code but I'm not able to do this. Here is perl6 code ``` use perl5:Net::FTP; ``` It reports an error Is there any configuration issue or it is not ready yet?
