in reply to plugin installation alternative

Welcome, redskall, to the Monastery!

Update: I too quickly read into this post when I first responded. I'm thinking that installing the Padre::Plugin::Perl6 module using the typical approach cpan install Padre::Plugin::Perl6 would do it (restart Padre afterwards), but I can't confirm as I don't use Padre. Give that a try and let us know.

Have you taken a peruse of Getting Started with Perl6? After you've done so, you'll probably want to install Padre::Plugin::Perl6. Let us know if you have any issues after that.

Cheers,

    thanks for your help. i have downloaded the plugin already. what is the full line i' m supposed to type into command prompt to install it?

      How did you download it? As a tarball? Unfortunately, this might not be as easy as it seems. You need to tell us what you've already done to get where you are. What OS (Operating System) you're on (I don't know if Padre runs on *nix and/or Windows), what else you've installed, what you did to install the P6 Padre module and what issues may have come up (ie. error messages etc).

      I apologize for the questions, but it's been a while since I've played and written code in Perl6, but I promise someone will show up and will be able to help.

      Where is moritz when you need him? ;)
