Hi there,
is this a bug?
> perl6 -Ilib -e 'require Bailador; say Bailador.^ver'
No such method 'ver' for invocant of type 'Perl6::Metamodel::PackageHOW'
in block <unit> at -e line 1
vs
> perl6 -Ilib -e 'use Bailador; say Bailador.^ver'
v0.0.7
it seems that there a 2 different metaclasses being used:
> perl6 -Ilib -e 'use Bailador; say Bailador.HOW'
Perl6::Metamodel::ModuleHOW.new
> perl6 -Ilib -e 'require Bailador; say Bailador.HOW'
Perl6::Metamodel::PackageHOW.new

See I'm using mi6 to generate my META6.json file from the report and
it picks the version up from the module file. Other options like that
seem sensible to me.

Hello,
but your approach means you have to state the version in the
META6.json AND in the Module.pm6 file again. This would be the
similar to having $VERSION in perl5. Shouldnt there be a simpler way?

Hi Martin,
This works for me:
File mytest.pm6
use v6;
unit module mytest:ver<0.0.1>;
sub myver is export
{
mytest.^ver;
}
File mytest.p6
#!/usr/bin/env perl6
use lib '.';
use mytest;
say myver;
Console output:
$./mytest.p6
v0.0.1
I this what you meant?

Hello everyone,
I wanted to repeat the question that I asked today on #perl6.
I am looking for a way to retrieve the version of a
Perl6-Module from within the module itself.
<ufobat> there is often a our $VERSION in perl5 modules. is
this still idiomatic/a good way to go in perl6
<timotimo> i think the version is meant to be part of the
meta info and such?
<ufobat> but that means the module itself does not know about
its version, just e.g. zef does?
<timotimo> i'm convinced there ought to be a way to get the
full meta info from whatever installation your script was
grabbed from
<timotimo> but i don't know what or how
