zef, zef-j, zef-m

Hi, I've just noticed that in /Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/site/bin/ I have 3 copies of every script. One with a -j and one with a -m at the end just as for zef: zef zef-j zef-m The files seem to be identical. Why are there 3 and what is their purpose? Gabor

.add missing from IO::Path?

Reading https://docs.perl6.org/type/IO::Path#method_child I thought I need to use .child or .add but .add does not seem to work: "foo/bar".IO.add("def") No such method 'add' for invocant of type 'IO::Path' in block at line 1 Gabor

Re: Compiling Rakudo in parallel

That just confuses me :( Do I need to type make -j 4 and hope for some concurrency? or export MAKEFLAGS="-j2 --load-average=2" make as I was pointed to off-list? Would someone update the README that comes with Rakudo Star with this information, please? regards Gabor On Fri, May 26,

Are sigils required?

https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables says: "Variable names can start with or without a special character called a sigil," But then in the examples all 3 have sigils. How can a variable have no sigil? Gabor

How to install from a specific Git branch?

Hi There! In the Bailador project we use a branch called 'dev' for development and one called 'main' for releases. Or at least we try to. In the META.list of the ecosystem https://github.com/perl6/ecosystem/blob/master/META.list we have listed the 'main' branch:

Is there a linter for Perl 6? (like Perl::Critic or pylint)

e.g. I'd like to check that every pl pm and t file in our project has a "use v6;" at the beginning. regards Gabor

The speed (improvement) of Rakudo

Hi, Is there some measurements regarding the speed of Rakudo? e.g. It would be nice to have a graph of some hand-picked operations measured at different points in time of the development of Rakudo and then graphed in a nice way. Is there anything like that? Gabor
