Very cool! I wanted to feature this on the Perl 6 wiki, but when I first naively gave this a try (on Win XP Pro), here's what I got: -------------------------------------------------------- C:\parrot-0.5.2\bin>perl6 -e "say 'Hello World!'" Null PMC access in isa() current instr.: 'parrot;Perl6Object;make_proto' pc 55 (src/gen_builtins.pir:76) called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6Str;onload' pc 415 (src/gen_builtins.pir:332) called from Sub 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc -1 ((unknown file):-1) -------------------------------------------------------- (Got same results trying to use a file. Also tried putting bin dir on path.) Any special setup required for this? As a non-developer, it wasn't obvious where I should look for info. I didn't see a doc dir or README in the installation dir, and I didn't see anything obvious at http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/.
