First a compile problem with a recent revision. Farther down, an issue with postpositionals.
Yesterday I posted a Pugs issue simply as a record for my own use and then was surprised to see that the gods had taken notice (search on the page for "dvergin"). I applied the needed patch by hand <shrug> and am up and running again with Perl6-Pugs-6.0.11. Thus emboldened, I located the browsable svn repository and wget'ed the package (too lazy to set up a subversion client). The version I grabbed (779) has compile probs under WinXP SP2 with ghc 6.4 again. Here's the beginning of the (working) hand-patched Perl6-Pugs-6.0.11 install:

But here is the same thing for Revision 779:

I did some diff's but couldn't find the source of the problem. I do notice the difference between -isrc and -i"./src" but can't find the source of this and can't dope out its implications.
-------------------------------------------
Meanwhile I have found some problems with the compiled Perl6-Pugs-6.0.11. This started out as something else involving postposition calls failing in other than simple settings. Here are a few tests that seem to demonstrate the problem:
#!/usr/bin/perl6 use v6;
require Test;
my $filename = 'tempfile';
my $out = open(">$filename");
is($out.ref, 'Handle', 'Postposition .ref works when alone'); is(ref($out), 'Handle', 'Function ref() works alone'); ok(ref($out) eq 'Handle', 'Function ref() works in a statement'); #ok($out.ref eq 'Handle', 'But .ref crashes in a statement'); $out.close;
my $num = 2.5 is($num, 2.5, '$num is 2.5'); is(int($num), 2, 'int() works alone'); is($num.int, 2, '.int works alone'); is($num + 1, 3.5, '$num + 1 is 3.5'); is(int($num) + 1, 3, 'int() works in a statement'); #is($num.int + 1, 3, 'But .int crashes in a statement');
Actually, I'd like to make you a committer and commit that test yourself, so please let me know your email address, and I'll make it so. Welcome aboard (in advance)!
