#!/usr/bin/env /path/to/your/rakudo/inst/bin/perl6

use v6;

There's no separate compilation step.

Hi All,

I just install rakudi-star in my Fedora 24 virtual machine.

I know how to program and run things in perl 5.

Can someone point me to a how to that will show me the
basic template for running a perl 6 program in Linux.

Also, do I need to run perl6 through a compiler or
does it compile on the fly like perl 5?

In perl 5, the first line was
#!/usr/bin/perl
which told the os how to run it (on the fly).

And my template was:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
#use diagnostics;
#use diagnostics "-verbose";
use lib;  # fill name of lib in

use constant false => 0;
use constant true  => 1;


Anyway, I am confused.  Where do I start?

Many thanks,

Sorry for the dumb question, but googling it only gets me perl5
instructions.

Hi All,

I just install rakudi-star in my Fedora 24 virtual machine.

I know how to program and run things in perl 5.

Can someone point me to a how to that will show me the
basic template for running a perl 6 program in Linux.

Also, do I need to run perl6 through a compiler or
does it compile on the fly like perl 5?

In perl 5, the first line was
#!/usr/bin/perl
which told the os how to run it (on the fly).

And my template was:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
#use diagnostics;
#use diagnostics "-verbose";
use lib;  # fill name of lib in

use constant false => 0;
use constant true  => 1;


Anyway, I am confused.  Where do I start?

Yes, it's more a way to not change the call stack than to optimize it.
