brrt we should have a smalltalk for parrot 10:50
how hard could that be
and, moreover
how awesome
moritz we should have a ponie for parrot :-) 11:18
brrt a ponie? 11:28
moritz oh, back in the days "ponie" was "perl on new internal engine", an attempt to run perl 5 on parrot 11:32
and since people say "I want a pony", it kinda fits :-)
brrt oh, i see
i can recall reading a bit about that 11:33
moritz at that point in time, parrot wasn't ready for it, and the project failed 11:35
though iirc ponie was a good motivation to write many more tests for perl 5, so we still have some benefit from it
(though tthat's all hearsay -- I wasn't around at that time) 11:36

&dir rework part 2

  &dir now returns IO::File and IO::Dir objects.
It restores partial backwards compatiblity by returning Cool objects that stringify to the basename, but still has a .path method that returns the full path, enabling the things that masak++ wanted to achieve with his first rework. You can still call file test methods on the result objects.
Apologies to everyone who has to update their &dir-using code a second time within two weeks, but I firmly believe this is a good way forward.

error handling in cgi and apache, and a much larger test for the cgi loader

benabik Hm. To actually test this stuff well, I need to turn the parsing into a library. Well, I knew I needed to do that anyway. 21:49
And it's basically contained into a couple functions in pact_disasm
Hm. I'm going to want to automate generating headers at some point. 21:52
Rosella has a program for that. I knew there was a reason I wanted to use that for build support. I wonder how to hook it up to distutils. 21:55
