So I've tried this:

I installed the 2015.02 version of Perl 6 (Rakudo Star) by following
these instructions on the perl6.org site:
To install Rakudo and Panda using rakudobrew:
rakudobrew build moar
rakudobrew build-panda
Finally, install Task::Star. This will install all the modules that
are shipped with the Ra

Well, one reason to delete and start over is this time panda had
changed paths so I was using the old panda.
But now, even with the new panda, I still get the failed tests for LWP::

A bug report is in order because I didn't get that failure with the

Given a class like:
our %attrs = (age=>1,wgt=>2);
class foo { has $.age = rw;}
method a {
for %attrs.kv -> $k, $v {
my $aval = self."$k"(); # supposed to work for a method name
say "attr { $k } has value '{ $aval }'";
}
}
Question:
1. How can I indirectly refer to the attributes

Fair enough--my fingers fumbled a few important things. I'll correct
and recheck;
Thanks, Moritz (and Bruce).

This syntax works in a method as you said:

I need to test some private routines, so is there a way to do that?
Or will I have to copy code to a test script or?
BTW, the tests are for input/output checks during development--not for
the public user.
Thanks.

Okay, Carl, I think I understand. But what about this for my
particular sit
I'm trying to get the basic syntax down on creating and using a
module. I've tried this and get an error:

module Bar;
sub foo($a, $b, $c) is export {}
# file 2: doit.pl
v6;
use lib <.>;
use Bar ;
my @t = foo(1, 2, 3);
# in a shell
$ perl6 doit.pl

I like the subroutine arg handling in Perl 6. Is there any simple way to
attach a short error msg in place of or additive to the default for, say, a
missing arg?
Thanks.

It does, thanks!
BTW, I think my fumbling in learning Perl 6 is giving me some ideas for the
