Ok, so there will be pugs, perl -Mv6 and rakudo | parrot-perl6 Maybe both /usr/bin/rakudo and /usr/bin/perl6 should be symlinked to /usr/bin/parrot-perl6 then. Currently there's only a /usr/bin/perl6 being installed. This really should be made ready for the September release. > Again, it should be a configuration option to install aliases for > executables with the language "nicknames".

Within the PCT::HLLCompiler I assume. So the few languages which are not based upon PCT::HLLCompiler will need some minor trickery. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/
