This does not seem to be an issue anymore:

tcl]$ prove t/internals/select_option.t t/internals/select_switches.t
t/internals/select_option..ok  
 
t/internals/select_switchesok  
 
All tests successful.
Files=2, Tests=37,  4 wallclock secs ( 3.63 cusr +  0.09 csys =  3.72 CPU)

Tested with revision 17365. I'm closing this ticket, feel free to
re-open it if this problem shows up again.

as it states in src/pmc/csub.pmc:

  This class has been superseded by C.

it's old, not used anywhere, and defunct. let's list it in
DEPRECATED.pod before 0.4.9, and remove it before the following
release.

disagree? let me know.

Re: [S09] "Whatever" indices and shaped arrays

[Larry Wall]

I like it.  I'm a bit strapped for time at the moment, but if you send
me a patch for S09 I can probably dig up a program to apply it with.  :)

Larry

new Parrot project manager

[Allison Randal]

We're splitting off the Parrot project manager role from the Perl 6 
project manager role, to make better use of the time and energy of 
available volunteers. Will "Coke" Coleda has graciously agreed to take 
on the PM responsibilities for Parrot, and Jesse Vincent will continue 
as PM for Perl 6. Many thanks to both of them for their hard work both 
past and future.


On a somewhat related note, Chip has been very much absorbed by work and 
life of late, and talking to him on the phone today we both felt it 
would be best to let everyone know he's officially on sabbatical for a 
while. He plans to return as soon as possible. We've spread much of the 
pumpking's responsibilities across the release managers, and any 
development questions will be redirected to the architect. I'm impressed 
at how the Parrot team has handled losing the contributions of a core 
member, rerouted around the loss, and kept growing. My thanks to all of you.


Happy hacking,
Allison

[perl #41724] [BUG] miniparrot fails to build on strawberry perl

i suspect there's trouble with the platform-specific c/h files, given
the nature of the warnings during build. the configure/make output is
below.

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case it'll prompt you for a few
pieces of info.

some defaults from its configuration.
