I want my clients to be able to run jar files
generated by the perl6 command:
The program:
my $num = (1..100).pick;
my $guess_count = 0;
loop {
my $guess = prompt("guess");
if $guess == $num {
say "Well done";
last;
}
if $guess > $num {
say "Lower";
}
if $guess < $num {
say "Higher";
}
if $guess_count == 7 {
say "you suck!";
last;
}
$guess_count++;
}
the compilation command:
perl6 --target=jvm --output=guess.jar guess.p6
the result:
===SORRY!===
java.lang.NullPointerException
The version:
This is Rakudo version 2016.10-9-g906719c built on JVM
implementing Perl 6.c.
I think the error message is less than awesome.
