Re: Task::Star and Panda

The issue is not poor quality software! The problem is community management. Panda was the standard way for installing Perl6 modules. It is embedded in nearly all of the "travis.yml" modules in the Ecosystem. I just fixed flaws in a module of mine, which began to *fail* the Travis

need help with "next"

Hi All, I have a test code in progress and I haven't figured out how to get 'next' to work the way I want. next if $Line.contains( "TASK type" ); works, but if $Line.contains( "TASK type" ) { next; does not. What am I missing? Many thanks, -T yes I know I still have some

Re: need help with "next"

You do realize that `next` immediately stops the current iteration and goes onto the *next* one right? That is, there is no point putting any code after it because it will never be run. On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 11:30 PM, ToddAndMargo wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a test code
