Hi all,
In another thread Erik Lechak speculated about the possibility of a getting
started guide. This got me thinking that one of the problems I'd found
starting out was the number of files that Make up the Parrot system and
trying to work out what each of them does.
Basically I'd like to

If there isn't, I've started making some notes of my own and if anyone else

So does that mean, the only set ops will be those that take two registers of

Unfortunately, I'm not a GC person, so this is the only one I recognize.
A Buffer is essentially a handle on a chunk of memory; it stores a
pointer to the memory, the

Anything with a destination register type other than P will remain
'set', as the contents of the register itself are being changed

An interesting question, not discussed when the change was
initiated, relates to property assignments eg
new P0, .PerlArray
set P0, 6
This most certainly does not set register P0 to six, so the 'set'

Please do not use POD! Find a C developer sitting next to you that does

I had a response all typed up, but I erased it. I just want to learn
enough so I can start coding, and these pod conversations are just
getting in my way, and I don't want to waste the Parrot communities time
or bandwidth with my trivial issues. Your time is much more valuable
