Bug#527280: ITP: php-perl-1.0.0 (use Perl from within PHP scripts)
Okay, again; waldi told me there are missing information,
and that debian-devel@lists.d.o has to be Cc’d.
Package name: php-perl (Binary: php5-perl)
Version: 1.0.0
Upstream Author: Dmitry Stogov
Licence: PHP 3.0 (upstream), GPL (packaging)
Language: C
Description: Embedded Perl module for PHP 5
This extension embeds Perl Interpreter into PHP. It allows to execute
Perl files, evaluate Perl code, access Perl variables and instantiate
Perl objects.
It’s a PECL extension (I only built the PHP 5 package because PHP 4 is
pretty dead) which links against libperl to embed the interpreter.
Example use case (with libbsd-arc4random-perl):
$ php -r '$perl = new Perl(); $perl->eval("require BSD::arc4random;"); echo $perl->eval("BSD::arc4random::arc4random();")."\n";'
429322985
I’ll probably be using it to wrap Authen::Passphrase, so that e.g.
LDAP style passwords can be used within PHP code (to facilitate code
reuse; otherwise I’d have to rewrite it in PHP myself…).
If there are any questions or change requests, I’m sure to listen.
I’d like to get this into Debian.
bye,
