in reply to Perl6 Threads

I would assume that you need a "use Thread;"before your code.

But I am only guessing, I have never really used perl6.

        Please try a more recent Rakudo with the MoarVM (default) backend. I recommend 2016.04, but anything from 2016 should work.

      Your initial code works as is.

      I've just tried it with the rakudo from Debian testing (2016.04).

      So I assume there is something wrong with your installation.

      I'd do a clean install of the latest rakudo, otherwise you just end up chasing non-issues due to a broken install...

        Uninstalled the previous version and installed the most recent package (rakudo-star-2016.04) and all the tests were passed. But OS doesn't recognize perl6. It says: The program 'perl6' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install rakudo
