Re: embed python script into perl script?

in reply to embed python script into perl script?

It is possible, though it seems like a false economy. Here is another method:

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use autodie;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $code = do { local $/; <DATA> };
my $result = qx/python -c '$code'/;
print "$result\n";

__DATA__
def cube(x):
    return x * x * x

print "the cube of 2 is %d" % cube(2)
