Hi Salvador,
It's great to see stuff happening with this again!
When I first tried to isntall DBD::Yaswi, I got:
ok 1 - use DBI;
install_driver(Yaswi) failed: Can't locate DBD/Yaswi.pm
in @INC (@INC contains:
<snip>
Perhaps the DBD::Yaswi perl module hasn't been fully
installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'Yaswi' isn't
right.
Available drivers: DBM, ExampleP, File, Pg, Proxy, SQLite, Sponge.
at t/1.t line 6
I just did a force install to see what would happen and I reran the
test:
ok 1 - use DBI;
install_driver(Yaswi) failed: syntax error at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/DBD/Yaswi.pm line 134,
near "Vs qw(Q M N V B)"
BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/DBD/Yaswi.pm line 194.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 3.
At line 134, deleting the "Vs" from it makes the DBD load:
my @vs = Vs qw(Q M N V B);
But a few lines later we get 'can''t call method "length" on unblessed
reference':
$sth->STORE(NUM_OF_PARAMS => $marks->length);
That's when I stopped.
Also, from the docs, it's not clear how to build a database or issue
queries against it. So let's say I want to find all X and Y that
satisfy append/3, would I do something like this?
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Yaswi:user');
my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<'END_PROLOG');
find [X,Y] where Z=[a,b,c,d], \
append([],X,X). \
append([W|X],Y,[W|Z]) :- append(X,Y,Z).
END_PROLOG
>From your docs and the tests, that doesn't seem right.
Can I load a pre-existing prolog program, call assert, retract, etc?
As for the new Language::Prolog::Yaswi, it installed and ran just fine.
I even had a little sample program of my own that seemed to work.
Thanks!
Now to see if it can run on OS X.
Cheers,
Ovid
