As an enthusiastic newbie, I was very glad when kjs posted his tutorial on the PCT. Unfortunately, the lessons assume a familiarity with Perl6 (via NQP) that makes the learning curve steeper for users who haven't been exposed to the language. There are also a few other issues that could be addressed to make the tutorial more approachable. I'm sorry that I can't make these changes myself or submit a patch for now. Lesson 1: It'd be helpful if the exercise contained something that would lead the reader to docs/pdds/draft/pdd29_compiler_tools.pod, where the answers are documented. (Even better would be if the two commandline_* methods were documented in compilers/pct/src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir.) This would give the reader a clue what to look for and help build familiarity with the documentation.
