# hs-perl5
This package provides a Haskell interface to an embedded Perl 5 interpreter.
Documentation and functionality is scarce at the moment; see the tests
under `test` for some basic usage examples.
Currently supported features are:
* Function calls
* Method calls
* Module imports
* Callbacks
**NB: This package is experimental and still in development**
## Prerequisites
This package requires you to have the Perl libraries and header files
installed on your system (at least 5.8.8).
On a Debian-based system, they can typically be installed by typing
```
$ sudo apt-get install perl-dev
```
## Installation
This package can be installed either using [Stack][stack] or
[cabal][cabal]. First, `git clone` this repository, `cd` in, and then
```
$ stack --stack-yaml=stack-lts-11.yaml build
# or use one of the other provided stack.yaml files
```
or
```
$ cabal update
$ cabal install --dependencies-only
$ cabal build
```
