call perl from python code

[Stella Levin]

Hi,
I have installed Inline::Python.
Manual says: "perl is a Python module bundled with Inline::Python that gives you access to Perl from inside your Python code"- I cannot find this perl module under installation package
- I cannot get working:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import perl
perl.eval("printf \"HelloFromPerl\";")

- I can get working:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Inline Python => <<'END';
print "Hello from python"
END

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Stella

This may be a bit misleading. The "perl" module is only available in code
running from Inline::Python. To expand your second example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.10.0;
sub test {
say "Hello from Perl within Python";
}
use Inline Python => <<'END';
perl.test()
END

Stella,

Did you follow the link that I provided? From that page, I found a patched
version from about 2007:
http://www.felix-schwarz.name/files/opensource/pyperl/ as well as a
subversion repo for Mandriva.

As this module aims to actually embed a Perl interpreter in Python, one of
the recent patched versions is probably your best bet.
