Helping Perl 6: a complete dev environment

2016-04-28 Thread Tom Browder
Is there a pointer somewhere on how to set up a complete development
environment for Perl 6?  I know how to clone individual pieces but I don't
know how to use the various cloned directories for a complete dev
environment using them.  I assume I can install each piece individually but
maybe there is some magic way to use rakudobrew to do it more easily.

I would like to be able to easily test and create pull requests for rakudo
and also the Task::Star modules but haven't yet figured out how to get it
all working in the most effective manner.

Thanks.

Best regards,

-Tom

Hi,

The documentation about the method act explains that 'the given code is
guaranteed to be only executed by one thread at a time'.

Can I assume from this that any other thread including the main thread
isn't running?


No. Other threads might still be running and do other things.

Cheers,
