perl 6 hosting?
I realise its still very, very early days, but considering the growing number of people who would enjoy just dabbling a little in perl6, it seems unreasonable to expect that the average person would install the many megabytes of beta (alpha?) software required, and keep it all updated with the latest releases. However, if someone had already done that, why not let folks log in remotely via shell accounts and try out the latest version on that computer? Okay, okay, I know there are a million security issues with that, but maybe if the server were highly locked down and isolated, maybe wiped clean regularly, and restricted in the necessary ways... Is this even possible? I'm not a sys. admin, but I thought I'd throw that out there. Any one think that would be useful and possible, and want to suggest a way to proceed with that? --michael onperl.org
Re: perl 6 hosting?
That is an interesting idea but, as you say, fraught with security problems. Maybe we can find a team of people to create binaries on a regular basis for most of the major platforms? That would mitigate the security concerns and allow people to run up-to-date stuff. This is just a thought, however.

I have played with server-side Perl 6 m-m-m about two years ago: http://real.perl6.ru/. Wokrs well since April 2004, even today ;-) Can you imagine that Parrot 0.1.0 built for i386-freebsd lives there. -- Andrew Shitov __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.shitov.ru
