Hi Josep, There is no direct perl interface actor in Ptolemy. You would have to write one. Locally, we don't use Perl that much, so we have no specific plans to do so.
The PythonScript actor uses Jython, which is an implementation of Python written in Java. You could use the Embedded C actor to invoke the C version of Perl. See also how R is called in Kepler. Another idea is to exec a remote process using the Exec actor, call perl and read the results. _Christopher Christopher Brooks (cxh at eecs berkeley edu) University of California Chess Executive Director US Mail: 337 Cory Hall #1774 Programmer/Analyst Chess/Ptolemy/Trust Berkeley, CA 94720-1774 ph: 510.643.9841 fax:510.642.2718 (office: 400A Cory) home: (F-Tu) 707.665.0131 (W-F) 510.655.5480 -------- ------=_Part_33675_4958866.1204633295578 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Dear Community, I'd like to know whether exists a Perlscript actor comparable to already exisiting PythonScript actor. Well I'd like to have an actor that executes a Perl script. Also, to make the script visible, editable and embeddable to the actor without havin = g an attached perl file as I have now. Does it exist? How can be built it? Which option Do I have to work around a perl script with Ptolemy (I'm a Kepler user)?
