I asked this question long ago at can you use perl6 from haskell?

and am asking again now because pugs is now available with cabal install and I am wondering if this changes anything.

I don't even see the option for "make ghci" target anymore (as educated_foo suggested).

Specifically, I would like to be able to do

ghci Main.hs (in pugs distro) or perhaps ghci Pugs.hs and just poke around and see how pugs works.

Currently, this fails with

thartman@ubuntu:~/haskellInstalls/Pugs-6.2.13.14/src>ghci Main.hs 

Pugs/Prim/Match.hs:12:7:
    Could not find module `Paths_Pugs':
      Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
Failed, modules loaded: none.
Prelude> :q

when I attempt to run the ghci command in the unzipped Pugs-6 distro directory copied from where cabal installed it.

UPDATE: Checked out the svn head from http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index.cgi?download_pugs

and this has a lot more files than the contents of the cabal tar, including an INSTALL file in the top dir that says there should be a make ghci target for hacking in ghci.

However, 

thartman@ubuntu:~/haskellInstalls/pugs>make ghci
make: *** No rule to make target `ghci'.  Stop.

Also, crossposted this question to perl6-compiler mailing list. (google "Is there a reasonable way to access perl 6 regexen and grammars in haskell, via the pugs modules? (where's the make ghci target?)")
