Perl6 Threads

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I saved "my $thread = Thread.start({ for 1 .. 10 -> $v { say $v }});" from https://docs.perl6.org/language/concurrency#Threads into a file and ran "perl6 file.pl" but get error "Undeclared name: Thread used ..." Any ideas how to fix the problem? (The document doesn't mention using any packages.)

I would assume that you need a `"use Thread;"`before your code. But I am only guessing, I have never really used perl6.	[reply] [d/l]

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...	[reply]
