A SpiderMonkey back end for WWW::Scripter’s JavaScript plugin
CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
• event2sub (which is used to compile HTML event attributes) now sets
$@ instead of dying, if there is a syntax error.
• Those memory leak warnings from SpiderMonkey are gone.
INSTALLATION
The easiest way to install this module is to use the cpan script:
Or you can use the following (after installing the prerequisite mod-
ules listed below):
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
[sudo] make install
If that does not all go smoothly, make sure you have SpiderMonkey
installed in a place where JavaScript.pm can find it. The procedure I
use on Mac OS X is as follows (this will need to be adjusted slightly
for other Unixes, and a lot for Windows -- sorry I can’t help more):
tar xzf js-<version>.tar.gz
cd js/src
make -f Makefile.ref
sudo mv Darwin_DBG.OBJ/* /usr/local/lib
