Hi Perl6 people,

Yesterday I moved my Perl6 project to another machine on which I had first installed:

$
This is Rakudo Star version 2018.06 built on MoarVM version 2018.06


Both machines have Ubuntu 16.04.

Two things (related?):

1. I cannot use arrow keys (and hence line editing) while debugging. I have Linenoise installed. I tried setting RAKUDO_LINE_EDITOR to that, but to no avail. Why? I am aware that this could be a Linux thing. I am a novice on that field. Anyway I get this when I use arrow up:

^[[A


2. The debugger reports lots of bugs like the one below, having to do with the use of comments in grammars, although the per6 engine is fine with it. Why?

$
Strange text after block (missing semicolon or comma?)
at /home/theo/projects/..../create_nested_fun_count.pl6:78
------> token ConstNum { <[0 .. 9 . ]> + }⏏ # negative values via AddExpr
    expecting any of:
        infix
        infix stopper
        postfix
        statement end
        statement modifier
        statement modifier loop


thanks,
