Rakudo Star silent exit on subset violation?

I don't know if this is reported (I can't find a bug report for it). I just downloaded and compiled Rakudo Star. $ uname -a Linux localhost.bbc.co.uk 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux The bug: subset Int::Positive of Int where { $_ > 0 }; sub

how to pkg/distrib Perl 6 modules?

Now that, with Rakudo Star, it is relatively straightforward to install and use Perl 6, I'm wondering about the next step. I want to start writing and distributing Perl 6 modules in an easily installable but non-bundled manner, much as how one can do so today with Perl 5 modules. What is the

Array membership test?

Possibly a FAQ, but is there a simple way of asking if an item is contained in an array? I know of $x ~~ any(@array) and @array.grep({ $_ ~~ $x}), but those both seem a bit complicated for a conceptually simple test, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. In other langs there's a keyword [ite
