Maybe now you can tell us what exactly the problem is? What language is the source code you have in? What steps have you already taken to translate it to Perl 5? Where exactly are you having problems? Are your problems with the syntax? Are your problems with understanding what the program does in its original form? Maybe you just need to run the program using the Perl 6 / Raku / Rakudo interpreter instead of the Perl 5 interpreter?	[reply]

Actually, translating this and making sure the translation is correct is a day worth of work, maybe half a day if there are tests and the programmer is experienced in both languages. holli You can lead your users to water, but alas, you cannot drown them.	[reply] [d/l]

Good morning Holli Would you be so kind to help me on the translation? The code is at https://rosettacode.org/wiki/N-body_problem#Perl_6 Kepler	[reply]
Re^5: Help for translation by Corion (Patriarch) on Sep 02, 2019 at 09:00 UTC
I think it will be far easier to port the C code to Perl 5 than to start out with the Perl 6 code and port it to Perl 5. But in both cases, you will have to understand the original code. So, maybe, again, now is a good time to tell us where exactly you are having problems with translating the code? This website is not a code writing service and we expect you to spend some effort on the problem and your implementation.	[reply]

Well it took me half an hour to look up the details and respond to you. I repent, won't happen again! :'( Why don't you simply install Perl 6 and run it in the proper engine?

Hi Rolf The reason for not running it Perl6 has to do with my VPS, and the way it is configured. So regardless the reason, I would apreciate some help in the translation. Clear skies Kepler	[reply]
