in reply to [Perl6] Getting Started

Have a look a the ext/ direcotry in the pugs source tree.

It contains most of the modules that are written for Perl 6 so far, and File-Find is one of them.

I don't have a pugs install available here, so I can't tell you if they actually work :-/

    mortiz,
    I wrote this test script using the File-Find in pugs/ext to verify that all the examples compiled. When pugs was being actively developed, the spec and the code base were changing so quickly that we constantly had to verify that the existing code continued to work. It has been some time since I have ran the test suite but I suspect someone on #perl6 would have yelled by now if File-Find was not working anymore.

    Cheers - L~R

      With the intentional lack of built-ins, is File-Find the main way to get directory information? Or, is there still a directory-reading primitive to go along with file I/O primitives?

      Next issues is that the Windows Install of Pugs does not include an ext directory. I'm dealing with slow and poor connections from hotels. Is there an easy way I can download these missing parts without repeating what I don't need or the Pugs source?

        John M. Dlugosz,
        Since active development of pugs went into stasis, I haven't really followed the project. The most informative place to get authoritative answers is #perl6 on Freenode IRC.

        Cheers - L~R
