Using Rakudo Start on OSX using the .dmg

Hi, I just tried to use the .dmg version of Rakudo Star. I might not be the typical Mac user as I spent quite some time trying to figure out what do I need to do in order to start using it after the installation. In the end I found that it was installed to /Applications/Rakudo Then I added

Perl 6 docs

When I search for %INC at https://docs.perl6.org/ it offers "%INC (Perl 5)" but when I search for the more common @INC Luckily the former leads to https://docs.perl6.org/language/5to6-perlvar which also has information on the latter, but it would be nice if that was also recognized in the

Re: Failed to open file .. too many open files

Oh so you say that's indeed a bug in my code. That's a relief. Thanks! As I can see I had some $file.IO.slurp and some of the slurp-rest ones. What is the difference between $file.IO.slurp and slurp($file) ? Is the latter just an alias for the former? Gabor On Sat, Mar 25, 2017 at 4:54 PM,

Failed to open file .. too many open files

The Perl 6 Maven site runs on Bailador. I've just updated the Rakudo underneath to 2017.01 and it seemed to be working fine, but after a while it started crashing with this error message: Failed to open file /home/gabor/work/perl6maven-live.com/main.json: too many open files in sub at

Re: Failed to open file .. too many open files

i highly suggest you slurp instead of open + slurp-rest, because that will automatically close the file for you, too. other than that, you can pass :close to the slurp-rest method and it'll also close the file. if you're not closing the files you're opening, you'll be relying on the garbage

Re: Failed to open file .. too many open files

$file.IO.slurp and slurp($file) are basically the same. $handle.slurp-rest does *not* close the handle, as another process might still be writing to it, so you could do another .slurp-rest. To get back to your original code: get '/atom' => sub { my $path = $.meta ~ request.path;

Re: Failed to open file .. too many open files

I still get the same error. I just found another case of slurp-rest which might have been the cause but it might be good time to look at the few other cases of "open" in my code. (And later maybe also the code of Bailador itself.) I tried to read more about how I am supposed to close file handles

Travis-CI and Rakudo seem to be a bit unstable

Hi, In addition to me breaking my own code, it seems that Travis-CI and Rakudo are rather fragile together. Occasionally my tests fail due to failures in the prerequisites. This failed due to LWP::Simple failing https://travis-ci.org/szabgab/Perl6-Maven/jobs/215147392 even though 20 min earlier
