Re: Running Perl 6 Tests

with "use Test;" to at least ensure that "make perl6" passes and people don't get confused when trying to build. I'd be happy to update that test and send a patch. Cheers, Ovid -- Buy the book - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Tech blog

Fw: Running Perl 6 Tests

Running Perl 6 Tests

ot; to fail, even though it's merely a parse error. The Test.pm module appears to work (I've only checked it superficially), so why not use that to make some of these tests a bit easier to write? Are we trying to avoid loading modules while testing core features? Cheers, Ovid

Re: Should C and C work in C ?

d new junctions based on the values of old junctions. grep and map would make that trivial. If I've misunderstood, feel free to print this out and burn it :) Cheers, Ovid -- Buy the book - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Tech blog- http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/j

Forget everything I wrote. I missed a couple of files in my cleaning. I got rid of them, did a 'make clean && make perl6' and now everything is just dandy. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Ovid -- Buy the book - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlhks/ Tech blog

Building Junctions from Junctions

the old junction, but with some values removed. How do I do that in Perl 6? I can't see that in the docs. Clearly we don't this to be done destructively as I suspect this will break autothreading, but building new junctions based on old junctions seems reasonable. Cheers, Ovid -- B
