It appears that Rakudo Star 2010.11 mishandles the %*ENV hash. (Either that, or I'm just misunderstanding how it's supposed to work.) I installed Rakudo Star 2010.11 from source (rakudo-star-2010.11.tar.gz) on Ubuntu 9.04. In the following, the error messages produced by "perl6 --version" are also a bit disturbing. I expected: say "%*ENV = ", %*ENV.kv.perl; to print the values of all my current environment variables. ================================================================ % perl6 --version This is Rakudo Perl 6, version 2010.11 built on parrot 2.10.1Null PMC access in get_bool() current instr.: 'perl6;Perl6;Compiler;version' pc 326465 (src/gen/perl6-grammar.pir:16967) called from Sub 'perl6;PCT;HLLCompiler;command_line' pc 1855 (compilers/pct/src/PCT/HLLCompiler.pir:917) called from Sub 'perl6;Perl6;Compiler;main' pc 326404 (src/gen/perl6-grammar.pir:16945) % cat env-bug #!/usr/local/bin/perl6 my %my_env = ('FOO' => 'foo', 'BAR' => 'bar'); # ok say "\%*ENV<TERM> = \"%*ENV<TERM>\""; # ok say "\%my_env<FOO> = \"%my_env<FOO>\""; # ok say "%my_env = ", %my_env.kv.perl; # ok say "%*ENV = ", %*ENV.kv.perl; # KABOOM % ./env-bug %*ENV<TERM> = "xterm" %my_env<FOO> = "foo" %my_env = ("FOO", "foo", "BAR", "bar") Method 'key' not found for invocant of class 'String' in <anon> at line 5042:CORE.setting in 'Any::join' at line 1 in 'List::perl' at line 2696:CORE.setting in main program body at line 9:./env-bug ================================================================ Some other things that don't work as I expected: > my %my_env = %*ENV Method 'key' not found for invocant of class 'String' > %*ENV<TERM> = 'vt100' Cannot modify readonly value -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) k...@mib.org <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> Working, but not speaking, for Nokia "We must do something.
