Earlier this year there was some discussion of defining a set of standard command-line options that would be common to all Perl 6 implementations, and so we've been holding off on argument processing until that's resolved a bit more. I haven't heard much more about it since January -- perhaps we should poke perl6-language for ideas...? Thanks! Pm P.S.: Send bug reports for Rakudo/perl6 to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- it helps us keep the tickets straight and discussions in the correct mailing list.
