Hi, I've checked-in some changes for pugs' javascript backend to support Perl5, which means we can now implement io primitives with perl5 via javascript, as well as supporting eval($code, :lang<perl5>) and more transparent CPAN module reusing.
I've implemented slurp() as a starting point: $ ./runjs.pl --run=jspm -e 'say slurp("README").bytes' Perl5 required. $ ./runjs.pl --perl5 --run=jspm -e 'say slurp("README").bytes' 19981 Cheers, CLK
