My first real Perl 6 package on CPAN

Yesterday night I finally uploaded my first real Perl 6 package to CPAN. It is very basic but you can install it using the standard tools (well, almost seamlessly) and you only need to configure two environment variables to use it.

Perl::Conf is a very basic implementation of an ini file parser. (see the README file for some help with the installation)

Today, in the morning I described the issues I encountered in my blog and even sent it out on the Test Automation Tips newsletter.

Once everything was done I decided I read some news, that's when I encountered the PerlBuzz article of Andy Lester discussing the question should Perl 6 use the CPAN?

Well, I think I gave my answer already.


And then there were two..

Config::Tiny was one of the first ever module ported over from Perl 5 to Perl 6 the day after module support was added. :)

Where is it?

I don't mind to throw away mine if there is an actually working one that I can reuse...
