Guile version 0.002 =================== This module provides an interface to the Gnu Guile system. You can find out more about Guile at: http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html. Guile is an interpreter for the Scheme programming language. "Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman." You can find this quote in the language definition for Scheme here: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/r5rs_toc.html This module is being developed in order to support the development and usage of an Inline::Guile module. The intention is to allow Perl programmers to intermix Perl and Guile code in their programs and modules. DEPENDENCIES 1) Perl 5.6.1 Might work with older versions, but don't count on it. Certainly not 5.005. 2) Guile 1.5.0+ Get the source from http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html if you can't find a package for your OS.
