perl6 on Parrot: Revision 8
The Perl 6 Compiler for Parrot is called "rakudo", 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, then change to the languages/perl6/ subdirectory and type "make perl6". This will build the compiler into a binary called perl6, or perl6.exe, or something appropriate for your platform. To run a program with perl6, one then issues a command like $ perl6 hello.pl or, to run an interactive perl6: $ perl6 For additional build instructions, you might also have a look at this PerlMonks post. parrot changes rapidly, and rakudo as well; if you have issues with the latest point release, be sure to try svn-latest of parrot/rakudo. |
