Hi,
In Rakudo version 2017.02-56-g9f10434 built on MoarVM version
2017.02-7-g3d85900
implementing Perl 6.c I observed the following;
Assume that a distribution is at /x/y (on Unix) then;
1) when no environment variable PERL6LIB is set, the modules from the
/x/y/lib directory can not be found. This is normal.
2) when PERL6LIB is set to the empty string, suddenly it is able to find
the modules. This is not ok. this is the same when a dot is in the
string ('.'), to find modules in the current directory. What also
happens is that the path to the resource is calculated wrong. Assume
/x/y/resources/a.b, %?RESOURCES<a.b> returns /x/resources/a.b missing
the /y. When the bowels of the %?RESOURCES are displayed, the repo key
misses the '/lib' at the end of its repository path.
3) when 'lib' is used in the PERL6LIB variable all is fine.
I was in the habit of using the string '.,lib' until perl6 choose the
dot over the 'lib' part and got faulty RESOURCES results in one of my
repositories.
Thanks,
Marcel
