books for learning Perl 6

As was announced a few days ago, see https://perl6book.com which is a good site for outlining what books on learning Perl 6 exist and suggestions on where different kinds of users should start based on their needs. -- Darren Duncan

[perl #131831] Possible precomp issue: crash with `is a directory, cannot do '.open' on a directory` pointing to a sha1 hash of a dir

The missing 'version' file looks to be the issue, and explains why zef worked when installing under under 'site' but not 'vendor': during my testing I think I managed to delete the version file from vendor... Oops. That means I've created a load of noise (but hopefully someone might benefit

Hi All, If you upgraded from Fedora 25 to 26, you will notice that notify send (libnotify) stopped working. (It works in fresh installs of Fedora 26.) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785583 Since I need to learn the stuff anyway, would someone point me to an GTK::Simple example

Suggestions on Learning Perl 6

Hi, My background is primarily in JVM languages and python; I've recently started learning Perl 6. To date, I've mostly used Perl 5 for one-liners or an odd-script. Consequently, I'm particularly interested in learning about Perl 6 package and module development (i.e. code organization),

Annoyingly, 2017.07 has a bug that makes every --ll-exception print that exact error. Here's what a newer version of rakudo gives you: > Cannot invoke this object (REPR: Null; VMNull) >at SETTING::src/core/Exception.pm:57 >
