Perl 6 Alpha 1? (Score:1)

by Alias (5735)

Do you have a way to package everything up into something that just exposes a "perl6" command on the command line?

Something that we could at some point release as a sort of blessed Perl 6 Alpha 1?

  We could merge all of the necessary PBC files into a single PBC file, and then transliterate that into a C program which links against libparrot. particle and I have a working PBC to C transliterator, written in Parrot.

    That would be awesome to have automated, the ability to generate the perl6 binaries from the codebase.
    
    This would also be a godsend from a morale/marketing point of view, for all the people that keep asking "where is Perl 6 up to".
    
    And it would probably help to get a few more people generally mucking around with Parrot/Perl6 and getting them engaged.

      +1, as Pugs has always been considered as a toy, and it's not named "perl".
