I would like to announce the first release of Inline::F2003. This module is an ILSM that allows Perl to compile inlined Fortran 2003 source code and execute it.
The URL is Inline::F2003
There are several reasons why I decided to release the module on Sourceforge rather than CPAN. The main one being that I feel this initial release is not yet sufficiently mature to be a standalone CPAN module. At the same time, Inline::F2003 does have sufficient functionality for users to try and comment on.
I am highly motivated to produce a high quality module that allows Perl to interoperate with modern FORTRAN. This initial release was developed and tested on Linux only. However, I would still encourage users to try running the program even if their system is non-Linux.
I am very interested to hear your views and experiences (and failures) with Inline::F2003. Thank you for reading this post. I do hope you'll have an opportunity to tryout the program, and report back your findings.
Cheers, Ron.
