Re: Is there an equivalent env var to PERL5LIB for Perl 6 module locations?

2015-03-31 Thread Darren Duncan 
I for one did not know/remember about PERL6LIB and rather all I knew was the 
more ambitious plan at http://design.perl6.org/S11.html about CompUnitRepo and 
such. -- Darren Duncan

Funny, I had been using PERL6LIB for a number of years now and had assumed it 
was already documented (I recall it’s use popping up on IRC a number of years 
ago, which is where I picked it up).

http://doc.perl6.org/language/5to6#Environment_variables

to be honest I cheated and have written the docs just today.  :-)

A `git grep LIB` in the spec sources turned up the text on environment
variables in S19, so that'd be one place to check as well.  In general, if a
search like that doesn't seem to turn up much, a `git grep` in the Rakudo
sources also turns up quite a bit of info.

And how did you find out about it, i.e., where is it documented?

Thanks.

2015-03-31 Thread Carl Mäsak 
It's worth noting that PERL6LIB is at most a developer convenience,
shouldn't be encouraged or used by module consumers, and will possibly
be deprecated in the future. This is because Perl 6 has a slightly
more ambitious view of module loading which isn't directly compatible
with OS paths.

I use PERL6LIB all the time when I develop, though.

Yup, PERL6LIB. =)

Is there an equivalent env var to PERL5LIB for Perl 6 module locations?

2015-03-30 Thread Tom Browder 
I would like an easy way to have a local search path for local Perl 6
modules (those not installed via Panda).

I'm used to using the environment variable PERL5LIB for Perl 5
modules.  Is there currently any equivalent way to do that for Perl 6?

Thanks.
