Acme::Chef 1.00

Acme::Chef is an interpreter for the Chef programming language.

SYNOPSIS

# Using the script that comes with the distribution.
chef.pl file.chef

# Using the module
use Acme::Chef;

my $compiled = Acme::Chef->compile($code_string);
print $compiled->execute();

my $string = $compiled->dump(); # requires Data::Dumper
# Save it to disk, send it over the web, whatever.
my $reconstructed_object = eval $string;

# or:
$string = $compiled->dump(autorun); # requires Data::Dumper
# Save it to disk, send it over the web, whatever.
my $output_of_chef_program = eval $string;

Chef is an esoteric programming language in which programs look like recipes. I neednt mention that using it in production environment, heck, using it for anything but entertainment ought to result in bugs and chaos in reverse order.

All methods provided by Acme::Chef are adequately described in the synopsis. If you dont think so, you need to read the source code.

There has been an update to the Chef specification. I have implemented the changes and marked them in the following documentation with "new specification".
