在 2006/7/10 上午 10:37 時，Michael Goldshteyn 寫到： Unfortunatelly, those of us who use Perl under Windows / MSVC Compiler cannot use v6.pm, due to the fact that it has an indirect dependency on Devel::Caller which fails to work using that compiler combination (i.e., fails all tests after a build using its makefile and Visual Studio 2003 as the C compiler). Indeed it is known that Devel::Caller currently fails some tests under Perl 5.8 with ithreads enabled; its author, Richard Clamp, is looking into a solution. For the time being, as v6.pm does not use the parts of Devel::Caller that fails the tests, a simple "force install" should still get you a working v6-alpha. Thanks!

[ANNOUNCE] Pugs 6.2.12 and v6.pm released! (reformatted)
(Mail.app totally scrambled the previous mail; sorry about this re- post.) I'm glad to announce that Pugs 6.2.12 is now available from CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl6-Pugs-6.2.12/ SIZE: 2693459 SHA1: c9731da8e597591ca7e279766481ce0bece8cfa4 This release features much better performance: Building Pugs is 3 times faster; compiling Perl 6 programs becomes 10 times faster; running Perl 6 programs is now up to 2 times faster. We also support various Perl 6 syntax changes since the last release, as well as exciting new features, such as atomic code blocks with Software Transactional Memory (STM) semantics. See the full change log for additional details of what's new in 6.2.12: http://pugs.blogs.com/pugs/2006/07/release_announc.html#more 6.2.12 marks the last release with the 6.0.x abstract syntax tree (AST) to represent Perl 6 programs. We are currently switching to a new AST that supports the new Signature/Capture calling convention, multi-dispatch with constraints, and a full Meta-Object Protocol (MOP). We are developing this new runtime simultaneously as Haskell modules and Perl 5 CPAN modules, to ensure that they have identical semantics. To this end, I'm happy to announce that "v6.pm", a prototype Perl 6 Compiler implemented entirely in Perl 5, is also available from CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/v6-pugs/ All Perl 5 components are released as separate CPAN modules. One can use them as pure-perl5 modules, to get fully-conformant Perl 6 features without the need of using Perl 6 syntax provided by "v6.pm". (These CPAN modules maintain their own release cycles; we will release more components on CPAN as they are abstracted out from the Pugs runtime.) The .meta API for Object/Class/Method reflection is supported by the "Moose" and "Class::MOP" modules: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Moose/ http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-MOP/ The compiler and runtime for Perl 6 Grammars (top-down) and operator precedence (bottom-up) is available as the "Pugs::Gramamr::Rule" and "Pugs::Grammar::Precedence" modules: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pugs-Compiler-Rule/ The calling convention with named, optional, and slurpy arguemnts is supported by the "Data::Bind" module: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-Bind/ The precompile-Perl6-to-Perl5 mechanism is based on "Module::Compile", a safe and composable replacement to source filtering: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Compile/ http://search.cpan.org/dist/Filter-Simple-Compile/ In summary: Perl 5 is now a first-class virtual machine for Pugs, and in this journey toward self-hosting, we will share as much common structure as possible between the Perl 5, Haskell, and the Parrot runtimes. With a prototype end-to-end implementation written in pure Perl 5, we are entering the "Hack, Hack, Hack" phase of the (imaginary) Perl 6 timeline from nearly one year ago: http://pugscode.org/images/timeline.png I'd like to thank Flavio Glock for initiating and leading the v6.pm effort, and all lambdacamel and lambdamoose on irc.freenode.net #perl6 for their relentless enthusiasm in getting Perl 6 deployed to the Real World. See you on IRC! Audrey PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Feature Changes
Pugs now builds in a single pass
Removed support for GHC 6.4.0 and added support for GHC 6.5
Removed support for Parrot 0.4.4 or below and added support for Parrot 0.4.5
&?SUB is replaced with &?ROUTINE; $?SUBNAME is replaced with &?ROUTINE.name
Arguments beginning in parens, such as
f ('x')=>1
, is now always positional
Array and hash sigilled match variables, such as
@0
,
@
and
%
Assignment with non-obviously-scalar left-hand side is now in list context:
@a = 1,2,3
now parses as
@a = (1,2,3)
Broke down Parser and AST.Internals to smaller files so rebuilds are faster
Builtin functions no longer defaults to
$_
; write
.ord
instead of
ord
Compile
Prelude.pm
and
Test.pm
, to YAML bytecode for faster loading
Declarators are now lexical:
{ $x++ unless my $x }
increments
$OUTER::x
Declarators can now occur at _expression_ position:
my $x + my $y
works
Declarators no longer take qualified names:
our $Foo::x
is invalid
Experimental support for Software Transactional Memory and atomic blocks
Hash initializers now revert to bias-to-left behavior as in Perl 5
In
{X => 1, X => 2}
, the value of X is 2, not 1
If a block ends on a line by itself, an implicit
;
is assumed if possible
In the interactive shell, :d and :D (dump parse tree) now continues the parse from the current environment; use :reset to reset the environment
More helpful diagnostics when calling unsafe builtins under safe mode
Multiline support in the interactive shell reports unrecoverable parsefails
Names of named arguments must always be a bareword now, such as:f(name=>1); f(:name(1));
New AST-dumping backends:
Parse-Pretty
,
Parse-YAML
,
Parse-HsYAML
Parse-time binding
::=
is now fully supported
Proper desugaring of
.=
expressions, such as
@a .= map(&sqrt)
Prototype objects:
my Dog $fifo
now assigns
::Foo
into
$fido
Removed support for
require ::Class::Literal
Removed support for
rx_
macros in Prelude for user-defined rule handlers
Quotelike constructs such as
rx
and
qq
no longer takes `#` as delimiter
Support for Unicode bracket characters for quotelike operators
Support for bracketed comments: #(...), #<<< ... >>>, etc
Support for controlled backtracking and whitespace sensitivity via distinct
token/regex/rule
delecarators
Support for environmental variables such as
$ENV::PWD
and
$+PATH
Support for
