I installed the 2015.02 version of Perl 6 (Rakudo Star) by following these instructions on the perl6.org site:
<quote> To install Rakudo and Panda using rakudobrew: rakudobrew build moar rakudobrew build-panda Finally, install Task::Star. This will install all the modules that are shipped with the Rakudo Star Perl 6 distribution: panda install Task::Star </quote> Since I saw no words regarding installation of a new version I blindly repeated the instructions above, and I see my perl6 is indeed updated to 2015.03. However, I got this error message during the last step (panda install task::Star) for the last module (LWP::Simple): <quote> ==> Fetching LWP::Simple ==> Building LWP::Simple Compiling lib/LWP/Simple.pm to mbc ==> Testing LWP::Simple t/000-load-module.t ............. ok t/basic-auth.t .................. ok t/custom-headers-and-content.t .. ok t/get-binary-camelia.t .......... ok t/get-chunked-6guts.t ........... ok t/get-perl6-org.t ............... ok t/get-unsized.t ................. ok t/get-w3-latin1-utf8.t .......... ok t/get-w3-redirect.t ............. ok t/getstore.t .................... ok t/parse-url.t ................... ok Failed to connect: connection timed out in method initialize at src/gen/m-CORE.setting:24980 in method new at src/gen/m-CORE.setting:24964 in block <unit> at t/socket-sanity.t:6 t/socket-sanity.t ...............

Is there a better or proper way to upgrade to a new Rakudo Star release? 2. Is the failure of LWP::Simple a bug or just some weird misconfiguration on my system? Thanks. Cheers! -Tom
