in reply to Get Involved With Pugs

pugs -e "{ 'Hello, ', @^x }.('World!').say"

It took me about two hours to track down, install, and run "hello world" on pugs on windows.

Now what?

Look for something to do?

Or slink off and wait?

    Now what?

    Out of all the fine suggestions offered by Limbic~Region, the one I personally like the best is the 6th. That is, port some Perl5 code to Perl6. Try to run it on Pugs. Frequently, you'll run into small bugs that will either be Pugs Bugs, or Perl6 Gotchas. These are both good things to find at this stage in the game. In either case, you would be best to write a test case demonstrating what you discovered. It may sound suspiciously like work, but in my experience, it's a lot of fun! :-)

    You could play a game or you could try and one of the suggestions I listed in the root thread.

    Cheers - L~R

    You working on Win32 or Cygwin? I haven't been able to get Pugs working for Cygwin yet (due to GHC/Cygwin limitations).

    If you're not Cygwin, how do you use Pugs? On the Win32 commandline?

      Win32. All I've done is 
      pugs -e "{ 'Hello, ', @^x }.('World!').say"

      and yep, that was on the win32 commandline.
