I'm not sure if I'm looking at an outdated doc, or if there's an issue
with Rakudo, so am posting here- let me know where to report. I'm
using the windows build of
perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2016.01.1 built on MoarVM version 2016.01
implementing Perl 6.c.
First issue. https://doc.perl6.org/language/5to6-perlvar says "@INC...
it will probably not surprise you that this is @*INC in Perl 6."- yet
> perl6 -e "say @*INC"
Dynamic variable @*INC not found
in block <unit> at -e line 1
Is @*INC renamed, thus requiring an update to "5to6-perlvar"- or is
Rakudo 2016.01.1 missing something it should be finding? Or am I doing
something wrong?
2nd. I've cloned a module from GitHub into a local directory, but
can't load it in the REPL using the -I command line argument. From the
error message, it seems Rakudo's REPL ignores the -I argument
perl6 -I c:\Users\yhluc00\Documents\GitHub\grammar-generative\lib -e
"use Grammar::Generative; say 'Alive'"
Alive
perl6 -I c:\Users\yhluc00\Documents\GitHub\grammar-generative\lib
You may want to `panda install Readline` or `panda install Linenoise`
or use rlwrap for a line editor

I expected the REPL to respect the "-I" argument, and any other
command-line arguments, to the extent that a REPL can. But maybe my
expectation is missing a good reason to filter out all command-line
args from the REPL. Is this a REPL bug or a problem with my
understanding?
3rd issue. Combining -I, -M and the REPL gives an error with any
attempted command, can't even exit. This seems to be a REPL bug.
