Hi perlers,

OK, trying to use parrot for executing PIR-code:
parrot test.pir
Plenty of errors this time:
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected DOT
in file 'h.pir' line 7
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected DOT
in file 'h.pir' line 180
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected DOT
in file 'h.pir' line 194
. . .
All these 'unexpected DOT' messages correspond to staments in PIR-
source with
'new' instruction such as
$P8 = new .PerlArray
Would anyone tell me how to deal and live with it? :-)
All of the Perl* PMC types were changed into dynamically loaded PMCs
- they're not available at runtime without jumping through some
hoops. (These were designed for a more perl5-ian set of requirements,
and weren't going to be used by the perl6-on-parrot effort.);
Most of the Perl types have builtin parrot analogues, however:
PerlArray -> ResizablePMCArray
PerlHash -> Hash
PerlString -> String
PerlInt -> Integer
PerlNum -> Float
PerlUndef -> Undef
PerlEnv -> Env
PerlScalar is kind of a base class for the string/int/num types, I'm
not sure if there's a direct analogue in core parrot.
The old perl PMC stuff is still in the parrot repository for the
moment in languages/perl5/.
Hope this helps, though I'm out of touch enough with Pugs that I
don't know if this is related to something in pugs-land that needs
updating.
