perl6 on Parrot: Revision 2
The Perl 6 Compiler for Parrot is called "perl6", and it currently
lives in the languages/perl6/ directory of the Parrot repository. To build the perl6 compiler, first "get a working copy of Parrot"<http://www.parrotcode.org/source.html>, then change to the languages/perl6/ subdirectory and type "make". This will build the compiler into a file called "perl6.pbc". The ".pbc" stands for "Parrot bytecode", and represents an an executable Parrot module. To run a program with perl6, one then issues a command like $ parrot perl6.pbc hello.pl Parrot does not yet support a #! syntax that allows us to run Perl 6 scripts directly from the command line, but that will undoubtedly be coming soon. * [perl6 tasks] |
