Re: Is there an equivalent env var to PERL5LIB for Perl 6 module locations?
It's worth noting that PERL6LIB is at most a developer convenience, shouldn't be encouraged or used by module consumers, and will possibly be deprecated in the future. This is because Perl 6 has a slightly more ambitious view of module loading which isn't directly compatible with OS paths. I use PERL6LIB all the time when I develop, though. // Carl On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 2:35 AM, Rob Hoelz r...@hoelz.ro wrote: Yup, PERL6LIB. =) On Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:03:05 -0500 Tom Browder tom.brow...@gmail.com wrote: I would like an easy way to have a local search path for local Perl 6 modules (those not installed via Panda). I'm used to using the environment variable PERL5LIB for Perl 5 modules. Is there currently any equivalent way to do that for Perl 6? Thanks. -Tom

In general, if a search like that doesn't seem to turn up much, a `git grep` in the Rakudo sources also turns up quite a bit of info. Cheers, Paul

Cheers, Paul Funny, I had been using PERL6LIB for a number of years now and had assumed it was already documented (I recall it’s use popping up on IRC a number of years ago, which is where I picked it up). chris

I for one did not know/remember about PERL6LIB and rather all I knew was the more ambitious plan at http://design.perl6.org/S11.html about CompUnitRepo and such. -- Darren Duncan
