in reply to [Perl6] How do I install Inline::Perl5

Have you followed the build instructions that come at the very bottom of the document?

perl6 configure.pl6
make test

# and presumably make install?

[download]

I don't even have Perl 6 installed on any machine so this is a very wild guess.

    Yes - I had tried that: 
    sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/perl6$ perl6 configure.pl6
Could not open configure.pl6. Failed to stat file: no such file or dir
+ectory

    Hmmm ... maybe there's something I need to download and unpack first ...

      Oh - I would imagine that you have to either download the tarball from the 6PAN or check out the repository, in the hope of finding the files there :-))

        Many perl5 readme's *did* specify the need to first download the distro ... I guess perl6 must be assuming a more intelligent clientele :-)
        Having downloaded the entire Inline-Perl5 distro from github, I'm now getting (on Ubuntu-14.04, btw): 
        sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~/p/Inline-Perl5$ perl6 configure.pl6
===SORRY!===
Could not find LibraryMake in:

        Looks like there's something else missing.

        UPDATE: Ok - I think I found LibraryMake but it offers even less help regarding the means of installing. (Obviously assumes an even *more* intelligent clientele :-)

        This module contains: 
        P6-LibraryMake/
P6-LibraryMake/.gitignore
P6-LibraryMake/.travis.yml
P6-LibraryMake/lib/
P6-LibraryMake/lib/LibraryMake.pm6
P6-LibraryMake/LICENSE
P6-LibraryMake/META.info
P6-LibraryMake/README.md
P6-LibraryMake/t/
P6-LibraryMake/t/01-basic.t
P6-LibraryMake/t/Makefile.in
P6-LibraryMake/t/test.c

        What incantation is required to install it ?

        Cheers,
