RE: Perl6 POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1
Liz, I'm a "Systems" person, so I'm checking hosts/IPs/networks/users/groups/etc. frequently enough to benefit from your project. My wish is that someone will someday do the heavy lifting for getnameinfo (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getnameinfo.html), which gave me a headache when I tried. I'm using getaddrinfo quite a bit now that someone fleshed it out in the Perl6 docs. Thanks again for your work on Perl6!

Thank you. Please let me know if you miss anything and/or find any problems. For myself, I’ve hardly had any use for these modules so they’re probably undertested.

Re: Perl6 POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1
Many of them are already in the ecosystem as part of lizmat's Buttefly project of porting Perl 5 CPAN modules to Perl 6.

Perl6 POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1
Perl6 Users, The POSIX module in the ecosystem (https://github.com/cspencer/perl6-posix) implements a few commonly used subs from POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 in a single file, which I found useful. I wanted to use more of these so I coded a few simple subroutines with NativeCall for my own use. The more I look at it, I will likely want to use a lot more of these functions/headers in Perl6 over the long term. Perl5 had a few of these subroutines included with the core distribution, as well as a utility to extract header info. Perl6 doesn't include POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 in the core distro that I could see. I am not a developer, otherwise I'd author Perl6 POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 modules for the ecosystem. getaddrinfo/freeaddrinfo (https://docs.perl6.org/language/nativecall#Short_tutorial_on_calling_a_C_function) clearly demonstrated to me that I was out of my depth, but some Perl6 developers seem to be fluent with these NativeCall constructs without breaking a sweat. Are there any initiatives to include POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 in Perl6, hopefully holistically? Maybe with an extensible hierarchical file structure (I.e. POSIX::getaddrinfo, POSIX::getnameinfo, etc.)? Are there other Perl6 users who see a need for more POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1 functions (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/idx/functions.html)? Thanks, Mark
