Definitely pugs. Perl 5 with Perl6:: modules gives you a few nice features, but it is by no means programming in Perl 6. You have to embed Parrot if you want to experiment with rules (or use s:Perl5///). The perl 5 module Perl6::Rules doesn't... um... work. However, rules are a little sketchy just about everywhere, so be prepared to fight with it no matter what you choose. > For the former case (Pugs+Parrot) where is starting point for > documentation for acquiring configuring and make'ing the right Pugs and > Parrot bits? Quite simple, really. Get parrot and build it as usual. Get pugs and set PARROT_PATH="/path/to/parrot/trunk", and then Makefile.PL; make as usual. That should do it. The documentation for that is, as far as I know, in Makefile.PL. It will tell you "Parrot embedding disabled" if you didn't set things up right. Luke
