First, let me thank stevan, steve and benjamin for the wonderful patches. The reason why I didn't reply with "thanks, applied" is because they are now committers, and has committed those tests (and more!) to the Pugs repository. Welcome aboard! We have 10 committers now. :)
Next, I'm glad to announce that the first Perl 6 module, Test.pm,
has been implemented, and a number of unit test has been converted
to use it. The Test.pm code is currently very copy-pasty, so
refactoring is welcome:
http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs/lib/Perl6/lib/Test.pm
See t/03operator.t for an example of how to use it.
For now, Pugs is piggybacking on Perl5's @INC path; it respects
PERLLIB and PERL5LIB environment variables, and appends "Perl6/lib"
to each element. PERL6LIB is hounoured as well without the
"Perl6/lib" suffix. The upshot is that on CPAN, Perl6 modules
inside Pugs will now live in the Perl6/lib/* namespace; that is,
Test.pm becomes "Perl6/lib/Test.pm". While this is merely a
stopgap measure before 6pan comes into place, I think it is
unlikely to clash with normal p5 modules.
Finally, I'd like to encourage all unit test writers to add the
"require Test;" line to the unit tests, and convert existing
unit tests to use it. Happy QA'ing!
Thanks,
