The Perl Toolchain utilizes the relocatable perl project.

To import rules_perl in your project, you first need to add it to your WORKSPACE file:

git_repository(
    name = "rules_perl",
    remote = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_perl.git",
    branch = "main",
)

load("@rules_perl//perl:deps.bzl", "perl_register_toolchains", "perl_rules_dependencies")

perl_rules_dependencies()
perl_register_toolchains()

Once you've imported the rule set into your WORKSPACE, you can then load the perl rules in your BUILD files with:

load("@rules_perl//perl:perl.bzl", "perl_binary")

perl_binary(
    name = "hello_world",
    srcs = ["hello_world.pl"]
)

Please see example folder for more examples of how to include Perl scripts.

Currently, simple perl programs and Pure Perl modules work.

Modules that require compiling are not yet supported.

This repository provides a hermetic Strawberry Perl bazel toolchain for Windows. Usage of the toolchain in perl_ rules is not yet supported.

This is the first
