Suggestions for workarounds given the short time frame: 1) Use the last *released* version of parrot, which is from a month ago. If this is a new issue, just run the slightly older code. (releases are happening once a month now. This will give you fairly recent code with a little more stabi

What role for exceptional types?

I've been reading the Perl6 "type" and method dispatch discussions with some fear and trepidation. Just following the linear flow of control through a program can sometimes be a mind bend. The type inferencing and dispatch system for Perl6 seems very funky. Throw in some autothreading and Junc
