include perl 6 files in config

[Pokorra, Gerd]

 
 
    Hello,
 
 in the parrot distribution I would like to have the first line from
 the file parrot-0.1.1/languages/perl6/perl6 from
 
#! perl
 
 changed to
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib '/parrot_source_dir/parrot-0.1.1/languages/perl6';
 
 
 So that /usr/bin/perl reflect the perl 5 executable and
 /parrot_source_dir/parrot-0.1.1/languages/perl6 is the
 place of the perl6 directory. So that I can execute the perl6
 program from every place.
 
 There for I created the two files in the parrot distribution:
 
   config/gen/perl6.pl
#! perl -w
  
package Configure::Step;
  
use strict;
use vars qw($description @args);
use Cwd qw(cwd);
use Parrot::Configure::Step ':gen';
  
$description="Generating perl6 file...";
@args=qw();
  
sub runstep {
  Configure::Data->set(cwd => cwd());
  genfile('config/gen/perl6.in', 'languages/perl6/perl6');
  chmod 0755, 'languages/perl6/perl6';
}
  
1;
 
 
  and the file config/gen/perl6.pl
#!${perl}
use lib '${cwd}${slash}languages${slash}perl6';
#
# perl6 driver:  parse assemble compile and run .p6 files
#
...  the original contents follows
 
 
In the file lib/Parrot/Configure/RunSteps.pm I add after the line 63:
    gen/perl6.pl
 
 
So that the generation will be executed.
 
Would you add this to the distribution.
 
 
  Best wishes,
 
    Gerd Pokorra
