Generic Interface to the Perl Language ====================================== ### Fingerprint 0x5045524c ('PERL') Under development. The PERL fingerprint is designed to provide a basic, no-frills interface to the Perl language. After successfully loading PERL, the instructions `E`, `I`, and `S` take on new semantics. `S` ('Shelled') pushes a 0 on the stack if the Perl language is already loaded (e.g. the interpreter is written in Perl). It pushes a 1 on the stack otherwise, indicating that the Perl language will be shelled when needed. `E` ('Eval') pops a 0gnirts string and performs a Perl `eval()` on it, possibly (or not) shelling Perl as indicated by S above. The result of the call is pushed as a 0gnirts string back onto the stack. `I` ('Int Eval') acts the same as `E`, except that the result of the call is converted to an integer and pushed as a single cell onto the stack.
