A number of the language examples in parrot seem to not work as well as they once might have(or should).
The learning curve to get familiar something like parrot is much easier if things like this just work. So, if anybody cares, here's the list of issues I ran into in the languages directory:
ook:
executing: parrot ook.pbc
generates: invoke() not implemented in class 'PerlUndef'
Missing program argument $ make test $ ../imcc/imcc ook.pasm test.ook
basic:
$ perl basic.pl
no instructions on how to actually run the .bas examples.
yep. LOAD bla.bas ?
cola: doesn't compile
Seems to be written for old bison.
forth: not an error, but no examples of usage tried a helloworld, but didn't get anywhere
../imcc/imcc forth.pasm > 2 dup + . 4 >
miniperl: make fails
Yep
parrot_compiler:
parrot.pasm has some comments.
perl6: The perl6 interpreter/compiler is fine, but some it's examples are broken: qsort.p6:
delete the function reverse (its internal now) in qsort.p6, the it runs fine $ perl6 -r qsort.p6
ruby:
dunno
I fear you are right, bit rot
