How to run a Haskell file in interpreted mode

Question

I\'ve been told you can interpret Haskell files (which I assume means they will work like Ruby/Python/Perl). I can\'t find the command line option on GHC to do this, though.

Answer 1

You can have a script like this:

#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell
main = putStrLn "hello world"

After making the file executable (ie chmod +x haskell_script), you can run it like any other shell script.
