| 9 | Using Thrift with Perl |
| 10 | ===================== |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Thrift requires Perl >= 5.6.0 |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Exceptions are thrown with die so be sure to wrap eval{} statments |
| 15 | around any code that contains exceptions. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The 64bit Integers work only upto 2^42 on my machine :-? |
| 18 | Math::BigInt is probably needed. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The only other issue I have with this implementation is the lack of |
| 21 | strict accessor methods, for example: to set a struct with variable |
| 22 | foo you must assign it via hash key: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | my $x = new StructWithFoo(); |
| 25 | $x->{foo} = "bar"; |
| 26 | |
| 27 | rather than: |
| 28 | |
| 29 | $x->foo("bar"); |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Please see tutoral and test dirs for examples... |
