WebPerl TODOs

http://webperl.zero-g.net

1. Documentation (Website)

   • Using WebPerl
     • the user must explicitly "unregister" anonymous Perl subs (or show alternatives) to prevent %CodeTable from growing too large
     • the user shouldn't mess with the symbol table (delete subs, redefine them, etc.)
     • http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/compiling/Deploying-Pages.html
   • Building WebPerl
     • test out perl -Mlazy to install all the deps (and if it works well, document)

2. Testing

   • Continue work on WebPerl.t
     • More tests for Unicode support (Perl/JS interface, Perl.eval(), plus Emscripten's virtual FS)
   • I should focus on getting the tests running in the browser instead of node.js
     • How to package tests? How does make test find&handle all the various modules' ts?
   • How to best disable individual tests that we know won't work? (qx etc.)
   • How to handle the many tests that call an external Perl?
     • patching t/test.pl's runperl() seems easiest at the moment, and we can use the iframe method from the IDE

3. Misc

   • Test if a CDN would work
