Perl 5 Optimizing Compiler, Part 13: Happy July 4th! RPerl v1.0 Full Release

[Will_the_Chill]

Howdy Monks,

After over 2.5 years of work, I'm very proud to (finally) announce the full release of RPerl v1.0 on CPAN!

Installation should now be as simple as:

$ cpan RPerl
OR
$ cpanm RPerl

For more information about install options, please see:

https://github.com/wbraswell/rperl/blob/master/INSTALL

As outlined in step 3 of the install notes file, we can now automatically compile our test program and see speed improvements of approximately 170x to 350x, depending on your system.

For detailed usage of the rperl command, please see the POD.

As usual, the RPerl technical team is in #perl11 on irc.perl.org so don't hesitate to reach out if you need help or have any questions. Let the bug reports begin! :-)

We've come a long way, and we've got a long way to go yet, this is just barely the beginning!

Perling,
~ Will the Chill, rperl.org & austin.pm

I couldn't find any examples of how to use it. Can you kindly point to where such examples are, or provide some here?

Hi Arunbear,

As mentioned in the main post, you can start by looking at "step 3 of the install notes file":

https://github.com/wbraswell/rperl/blob/master/INSTALL#L101-L146

Then you will want to look at the POD for the rperl command:

https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/RPerl/script/rperl

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Perling,
~ Will the Chill

I have come here looking for information on how to actually use RPerl, read "step 3 of the install notes file" and I'm honestly none the wiser. I still don't know how to use it.

You really need to provide simple, obvious examples and documentation.

Show me a perl script. Show me how to RPerlify it. Show me how fast it runs. Basic stuff like that.
