Compiling Perl6 code to bytecode
Hello, I recently got interested in Perl 6, installed Parrot 2.0.0 and Rakudo 2010-01. Running the code works fine: $ cat hello.pl say Hello, world! $ parrot /usr/lib/parrot/2.0.0/languages/perl6/perl6.pbc hello.pl Hello, world! However, compiling the code for later use makes problems: $ perl6 --target=pir hello.pl hello.pir $ parrot /usr/lib/parrot/2.0.0/languages/perl6/perl6.pbc hello.pir Confused at line 2, near \perl6\\n\n. in Main (file unknown, line unknown) I tried to ask for help on #perl6 on freenode, and the following seems to work with rakudo compiled with --gen-parrot. Is this some known case of separately used Parrot? Am I doing something wrong? Kind regards, Ted

So try parrot hello.pir instead. However it could be that the .pir is missing some loading directives (known bug), it might be necessary to add .loadlib 'perl6_group' .loadlib 'perl6_ops' at the beginning of the file (see perl6.pir for how it looks). The good news is that if you compile a module to PIR, you don't need such extra work. I tried to ask for help on #perl6 on freenode, and the following seems to work with rakudo compiled with --gen-parrot. Is this some known case of separately used Parrot? Am I doing something wrong? I don't know of any such relation. Cheers, Moritz
Re: Compiling Perl6 code to bytecode
At present. But the development process has not reached a stage where compiling the main program produces any real benefit. By the way, if you have used 'make install', then all you need is /full/path/to/binary/perl6 scriptfile.p6 [args args args ...] rather than parrot /full/path/to/binary/perl6.pbc scriptfile.p6 I put a link to the perl6 binary in my path, so all I do is perl6 scriptfile.p6 Also, you can then do a bare perl6 ... and you can enter one line programs from standard input. This is a quick way to test whether bits of code work.

Rakudo correctly links in the code. It was not possible to compile the main program to pir, which should in any case be called with parrot. Note that in your example perl6.pbc is expecting a perl script, not pir. But it is possible to compile the main program to pir, then have a short perl6 script to 'use' the module. Richard Well, so the only way is to compile everything as modules, and short main script which will use the module and be compiled every time? Do I understand it right? Regards, Ted
