Re: Getting startes with Perl6 / Rakudo Star / MoarVM

2014-09-14 Thread Alex
Hi!

After I had a look at the book, I would say yes, please add to book to the 
installer.
And please add a start menu entry, with 2 shortcuts:
One to the book and
One to a console where one can immediately run perl6 (where perl6 is added to 
path)

This idea should be portable, providing shortcuts on Mac or any other Linux box 
should, work, too.

Best regards and thanks for all the answers!

 My question would be: shall we install the book too, and add the book
 and useful links to the start menu?

 Hi,
 
 Install path is known limitation
 https://github.com/rakudo/star/issues/10 If you want custom path you
 need to compile it from source for now
 
 Where to begin?
 
 I propose to start:
 http://perlgeek.de/en/article/5-to-6 to know biggest differences
 
 then:
 http://doc.perl6.org/language.html and of course rest of
 http://doc.perl6.org/
 
 If you want something really verbose http://perlcabal.org/syn/ Even
 though it is mainly targeted to compiler authors it great because is
 the most complete
 
 Also http://perl6.org contains link to other resources
 
 I hope didn't write to much for a first time

 I downloaded rakudo-star-2014.08-moar.msi.
 When it was done, luckily, I noticed that it installed on C:\rakudo.
 It was luck because no message indicated that install location and I found
 it only because I checked if the installer would really put it on my small
 OS SSD (= bad).
 
 Then, I searched for the documentation. I'm sorry, I didn't find it. Where
 is it? I expected some doc folder, a web page, or a link in the start menu
 (I like that best).
 
 Is there a getting started guide?
 
 I want to check if some of my scripts work with Perl 6.

2014-09-14 Thread Tobias Leich
There is already a shurtcut to the perl6 interpreter (REPL) in the start
menu.
And since the msi is for windows only, we don't have to care about linux
and mac here :o)

But I'd propose more links perhaps...
rakudo.org
perl6.org
docs.perl6.org
maybe even one to the freenode webchat

Thoughts?
