Outline::Lua With Outline::Lua you can string-eval Lua code. Create a Lua object with Outline::Lua::new and register Perl functions to it. The Perl functions become available to Lua as Lua functions. Lua is meant as a safe environment for running user-contributed code, or simply so you don't have to write your own domain-specific language for your application. You can find Lua at http://www.lua.org/ A sandbox is fine too! PREREQUISITES Outline::Lua should compile against Lua 5.0 and above. If it does not, please file a bug (see below). Note that under Ubuntu and possibly other distros, simply installing the Lua dev packages will not work. No, I don't know why. I recommend always building Lua from source. It is really easy. Even I managed it. Lua can be found at http://www.lua.org/download.html INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Outline::Lua You can also look for information at: RT, CPAN's request tracker http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Outline-Lua AnnoCPAN, Annotated CPAN documentation http://annocpan.org/dist/Outline-Lua CPAN Ratings http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Outline-Lua Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/Outline-Lua COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2009 Alastair Douglas This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
