If Parrot comes to full fruition, CPAN should be available to (at least) both Ruby and Python about as easily as it's available to Perl.
If Parrot comes to full fruition.
- draegtun 16y agoYou can already run some CPAN modules in Rakudo (Perl 6) on Parrot. See Blizkost (which comes with Rakudo): https://github.com/jnthn/blizkost https://github.com/jnthn/blizkost Here is an example which works (using CGI module from perl5/CPAN): use v6; use CGI:from<perl5>; my $q = CGI.new; print $q.header, $q.start_html('Hello World'), $q.h1('Hello World'), $q.end_html; PS. re: some CPAN modules - Only "well behaved" Perl5 modules will work. I've tried four and got one to work. However this is a good start methinks!
