Moar Parrots

2014-09-09 Thread Alex Becker
Hi! Hitting the download button for Perl 6 leads to this page: http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/ There is a set of undocumented files. For 2014.08, there is one msi file with the Suffix moar, and one with the Suffix parrot. So, if I just want to have a look at Perl 6 and how it behaves on Window

Moar comprehension questions about Perl6

2014-09-09 Thread Alex Becker

Can we add Data::Tables to modules.perl6.org?

2014-09-15 Thread Alex Becker
Hi! There is modules.perl6.org with something about 244 modules. It's nice to see that there are so many modules already. But it's kind of hard to read. Could we add DataTables (http://www.datatables.net/) to the page for JavaScript-enabled browser? It would add a search feature on the fly. And,
