method named __get_string().
Currently, you can overload number context by creating a __get_nu

I've been thinking a lot about how PGE implements closures. Right
now, the closures are a bit rough -- PGE does heuristic look-ahead to
find the end of the closure, saves off the code as a string, and
compiles it at runtime like an eval. To make the heuristic look-
ahead work, PGE insists

In my ongoing quest to create a PDF parser in Perl6, I have some
Rakudo/PGE/parrot questions. These are low-urgency and some of these
may not be implemented yet...
1) byte orientation
PDF's syntax is inherently an 8-bit ASCII superset. Some subsections
may be interpreted as some multi-by

Ahh, It looks like my report below is a duplicate of

declared in an included module
Sorry about that...

I'm working on a patch at the Frozen Perl hackathon now...
I wrote a simple solution that works, but I'd like someone more PIR-
savvy to improve it.

1) Will the "{*}" syntax to invoke an external action method from
within a grammar be an official part of the language, or an
implementation hack?
2) If it becomes official, how should people specify the action class/

I just finished converting Perk (a Java compiler targeting Parrot)
from PCT+NQP/PIR to PCT+Rakudo. That is, the main entry point and
actions.pm for my compiler are written in Perl 6.

I had to make a few little hacks along the way:

I've been considering how to inject compile-time values ($?VAR) into

I was thinking about how to implement $?LINE and came up with two
ways to do it: on the fly and post processing.
On the fly would require some significant work in PGE, I think, to
