Hello,
Unfortunately, I'm getting the same freeze/no echo behavior upon
executing *my $in = get;* on the REPL. This obtains with perl6 running
under cmd.exe, cmd.exe with Administrative privileges, and with
powershell.exe.
Versions:
* Rakudo version 2016.07.1 built on MoarVM version 2016.07
implementing Perl 6.c;
* Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
However! I was inspired by an email from Naoum Hankache
<na...@hankache.com> I just now read regarding an error I encountered
while reading his tutorial. His discovery was that putting the same
commands within a script - rather than entering them at the REPL - fixed
the problem. The same is true here: If I create a simple test file, e.g.:
my $in = get;
say $in;
and run that, then input echoes as expected, <Enter> terminates input,
and the string is successfully echoed.

Hi,
Were you able to try the latest Rakudo Star? and see if the problem is still
there? http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/rakudo-star-2016.07-x86_64%20(JIT).msi
I'm not able to reproduce this on Windows 7, even with the 2016.04 version. The
code starts and waits for input. I type it in, press Enter and the program
returns just fine, with my input echoed on the screen as I type it.
