Simply running a container with the image will launch a Perl 6 REPL:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- $ docker run -it rakudo-star
|
|
|
- > say 'Hello, Perl!'
|
|
|
- Hello, Perl!
|
|
|
+ $ docker run -it rakudo-star
|
|
|
+ > say 'Hello, Perl!'
|
|
|
+ Hello, Perl!
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also provide perl6 command line switches to `docker run`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- $ docker run -it rakudo-star -e 'say "Hello!"'
|
|
|
+ $ docker run -it rakudo-star -e 'say "Hello!"'
