Re: Where do I need to put a pm6 file?

Starting from the end: there's no need to use github, panda can install stuff just fine from a local directory :) As for the directory layout, https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/docs/module_management.md is probably the best source to learn how it works under the hood. Hope this helps,

Re: Where do I need to put a pm6 file?

To expand on why putting the file in a directory doesn't Just Work, and why so much magic needs to be there for it to work: loading modules is a complicated thing in Perl 6, and long story short, if you want to be able to have multiple versions installed and loadable at the same time, you need
