In my last post, I expressed frustration at how the lack of exnref support in most WebAssembly runtimes made zeroperl effectively unusable. However, complaining alone doesn’t solve problems—if something is broken, fix it. Don’t accept the status quo or let it derail your goals.

Using libsetjmp from the WASI SDK for setjmp/longjmp breaks compatibility across WebAssembly runtimes, so I decided to implement it myself. Binaryen has an Asyncify feature, which provides more than enough functionality to build a setjmp implementation from scratch.

Part of a series on getting perl running in wasm.
