Hi, From the changelog of the last libembperl-perl upload to Experimental: > * Add patch to take PL_sv_objcount removal in Perl 5.22 into > account. Fixes FTBFS with Perl 5.22. (Closes: #806897) > * Upload to experimental for now as it's not clear if all those "0+" to > enforce scalar/number context changes in the test suite are really > correct or if there's a further 5.22-related bug in Embperl causing > tons of empty values without the > perl5.22-compat-PL_sv_objcount-removal.patch.
As promised on IRC, I've now tested Embperl from Debian Experimental in a real-life scenario: I've copied the whole setup of http://gallery.noone.org/ (which still runs on Wheezy) and a small bunch of pictures to a server running Stretch and the Embperl-part worked out of the box: https://someone.noone.org/~abe/ Surely, it's not a very sophisticated application (e.g. no Embperl::Object used or such), but it uses some of the unique Embperl features like automatic iteration over arrays when being reference in tables with the special $row variable and so on. I only had to fine-tune the way how AppConfig (not Embperl-related: https://metacpan.org/pod/AppConfig) is called. Seems as if the way I use it now needs the ":argcount" tag when being "used". That's the only change I had to make -- even though the Perl version was bumped from 5.14 to 5.22. :-) So from my point of view Embperl works fine despite I initially wasn't sure about the above mentioned test suite changes. (Cc'ing upstream to share this information.) If there aren't further objections, I'd upload Embperl to Debian Unstable soon-ish so it will part of the next Debian Stable release.
