To run a par, you'd use a seperate utility (so an end-user doesn't have to carry around all the extra junk associated with creating a par) Unfortunately, "punar" is difficult to pronounce so we will have to go with the shorter, easier to speak "pun". :P > I'm assuming it's seen as a general (not just perl6) thing? There seems to be two minds about this. I think its perfectly feasible to do now (perl2exe already does what par proposes) and distribute seperately (and possibly with 5.8). Others think its better held as a Perl 6 utility and maybe make a prototype now. Both can do their thing at the same time, doesn't matter.Thread Previous | Thread Next
