Re: Where can I find a Perl 6 langauge reference?

Hi Mr. Mathews, PXPerl (http://pxperl.com/) has a version of Perl6 compiled into the build. That should get you started. Regards, Chris On 5/18/06, Michael Mathews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Like Thomas, I'm interested in having a go, in my case I'd like to install something I can play wit

Windows Binaries for Pugs

2006-05-19 Thread Chris Yocum
Hi All, I just wanted to let you know that there are some Windows binaries of Pugs avaliable from Jonathan Worthington (http://www.jwcs.net/~jonathan/perl6/). They seem to be a bit out of date (last update was at Monday, 10-Apr-2006 05:29:30 CDT) but should get you started. Regards, Chris

naries even worth it? Judging from my lurking on #perl6, things are moving so fast that anything but a regular nightly-built binary would be too out of date. Seems like svn is the way to go. -James At 11:58 AM -0400 5/19/06, Chris Yocum wrote: >Hi All, > I just wanted to let you know th

That is an interesting idea but, as you say, fraught with security problems. Maybe we can find a team of people to create binaries on a regular basis for most of the major platforms? That would mitigate the security concerns and allow people to run up-to-date stuff. This is just a thought, howe

Simple Print/Say Question

2006-05-23 Thread Chris Yocum
Hi all, I was converting a program that I wrote a while back from Perl5 to Perl6 and I got stuck on something really easy. In Perl5, when I want to print something out, in this case an array with lines between the columns, like this: 1|2|3 I would say something like: print $array[0] . "|"

Dear Mr. Bach, You were indeed correct so I wrapped the %hash like this "@{%hash}" like you would to de-refrence an array and it worked perfectly. It was indeed just me. Thanks to everyone that responded! Chris On 5/23/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Oh, I just saw som

Mutil Method Questions

2006-06-21 Thread Chris Yocum
Hi All, At the risk of sounding a bit thick, I have a couple of questions about Perl6's multi keyword and mutilmethod in general. This seems like overloaded functions from C++ so why do we need a key word to declare them rather than using something like C++'s name mangling? Is there somethin
