Hello fuzzmonkey,

First of all, thanks for the hint about RPerl I had no idea.

To the question, I tried also to install RPerl on my LnuxOS and so far I was not successful. I found though that I need to install Package libgmp3-dev on Debian/derived systems.

I also found out that I need to install m4, only after installing those packages I was able to install Math::BigInt::GMP as the Anonymous Monk pointed out.

So far the process is compiling with no errors, I will keep you posted if I manage to install it.

Update: Looks it is installed after the packages.

Appending installation info to /home/tinyos/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-lin
+ux-gnu-thread-multi/perllocal.pod
  WBRASWELL/RPerl-2.450000.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make install  -- O

After installing the module RPerl I tried to execute the sample of code and I got the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

So in case you are running Debian/derived system the solution is simply install libperl-dev.

Finally running the script with debugger mode on it prints:

$ rperl -D test.pl


in rperl, have $RPerl::DEBUG = 1
in rperl, have $RPerl::VERBOSE = 0

Hope this helps.
