Hi there,
Just downloaded Rakudo Star and I wanted to give you the equivalent
instructions to add to the README for RedHat/Fedora/CentOS users under
Build Prerequisites.
On RedHat/Fedora/CentOS Linux, necessary components for building Rakudo:
yum groupinstall development-tools
yum install libicu

Hello
I am out of Perl 6/Parrot for some time, but trying to get back and help
with Perl 6 (at least, modules).
As there are already some modules available, I am wondering if anyone
already prepared a module-starter-like module to bootstrap a Perl 6 module.
Cheers

It's really nice in endless loops, logging, etc. I'd like to translate
it to Perl 6 (using Rakudo specifically).

What is assigning a Range to an array supposed to do? Give you an
array of one item which is a Range? Convert to a series?

CPAN will also have to be able to handle modules written in arbitrary

Conceptually, they're closely related. In particular, a range behaves
