You need to install it afterwards: $ panda install Inline::Perl5 Most (if not all) perl5 modules will work, but not out of the box. If you e.g. have an XS module (compiled C code), you might need to do more changes. Here's an example of ported DBI code: --8<--- #!perl6 use v6; use Inline::Perl5; my $p5 = Inline::Perl5.new; $p5.use("Text::CSV_XS"); my @rows; my $csv = $p5.invoke("Text::CSV_XS", "new") or die "Cannot use CSV: ", $p5.invoke("Text::CSV_XS", "error_diag"); $csv.binary(1); $csv.auto_diag(1); my Int $sum = 0; for lines() { $csv.parse($_); $sum += $csv.fields.elems; } $sum.say; -->8--- > Many thanks, > -T > -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.23 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
