+# What is Rakudo Star?
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Rakudo Star is a Perl 6 distribution designed for use by early adopters of the language. It includes
|
|
|
|
+a virtual machine (the JVM or MoarVM), the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, and a suite of modules that users
|
|
|
|
+may find useful. This image includes the MoarVM backend for the compiler.

|
+# How to use this image
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Simply running a container with the image will launch a Perl 6 REPL:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ $ 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!"'
