Is it possible to get environment variables from perl6 programme? It 
failes when I try to use perl5 hash %ENV. Thanks.

Are you sure you're using the Perl 6 hash syntax? (%ENV{FOO} rather than Perl
5-style $ENV{FOO})

What version of Perl 6 are you using?

I tried this one-line programme for example:

my %e = %ENV;

and got this (parrot-0.0.13/perl are built under mandrake linux):

Global '_HV_ENV' not found
