sjohnson flussence: i dont know, is that the solution in p5? 01:37
flussence I'm guessing that's the p6 name of it...
with the direction p5's going in, it'll probably get backported sooner or later 01:38
sjohnson i hope!
in case you are curious, i am currently doing this. perhaps my solution is a bit juvenile:
www.pastie.org/1337121
there was a time where i had a string set to 'i' and did: s/moo/oink/$flag; but it quit working.. perhaps a newer version didn't like my cludgey idea. 01:42
flussence it might work as /(?$flag)/ 01:45

sjohnson flussence: will do thanks 02:05
Frank_ Just curious -- I thought this might be a good time for me to check out Perl 6. Most of the docs for newcomers seems to suggest using Rakudo. Rakudo.org seems to have been down for several days now, and I haven't been able to find any announcements anywhere. 02:09
ash_ if you just want to try some things, you can do: 02:10
rakudo: say 1;
p6eval rakudo : OUTPUT«1␤»
ash_ or try.rakudo.org/ 02:11
or checkout github.com/rakudo/rakudo or github.com/rakudo/star
i am sure someone's working on the rakudo.org site being down, which kinda stinks :-(
planetsix.perl.org/ has a lot of blog posts about perl6 02:12
Frank_ Ah, thanks, ash_, that should get me going.
ash_ perlgeek.de/en/article/5-to-6 is good if you know perl5
Frank_ It just seemed weird that almost no one seemed to notice the site was down, or at least didn't think it worth mentioning. 02:13
ash_ someone mentioned it being down earlier 02:14
someones donating a vm slice for rakudo, so, it might be something wrong on their end? I am not sure, i don't manage that site 02:18
Frank_ the post by masak was the only one I could find, and that had more of a "please help me" tone than informative. I'm hoping this just means that someone is too busy fixing the problem to post an update.

or 'perl6'? :)
dalek tpfwiki: (Herbert Breunung)++ | www.perlfoundation.org/perl6/index...._io_tablet 13:20
moritz_ naming the executable 'perl6' is a bad idea, IMHO 13:21
13:22 MayDaniel joined
masak moritz_: in that case, what makes it a good idea to do it for Rakudo? 13:22
moritz_ masak: I think the reason was the presence of Niecza folder, which collided with the niecza executable on case insensitive file systems
masak: nothing
flussence well, the binary name wasn't taken at the time :D 13:23
masak but there's no Niecza folder. at least not anymore.
moritz_: also, could you motivate why it'd be a bad idea? 13:24
moritz_ masak: because it's not the perl 6, but a perl 6 - rakudo perl 6, to be specific
13:25 bitter16 joined, sftp joined
masak moritz_: not sure I buy that. we're supposed to eventually be calling the executable 'perl', aren't we? 13:28
or is that a vestige of the Perl-6-is-a-successor world view?
13:29 maluco joined
moritz_ masak: I think that I want to have an easy way to call each perl 6 compiler on my machine 13:29
flussence IMO, call the executable perl$version and let the distros decide what to symlink.
moritz_ having them all named 'perl6', because they all assume they are "the perl6" would be counterproductive 13:30
I'd much rather install a perl6 alias myself when I decide which one is "the perl6" for me now

13:31 Axius left
masak moritz_: but you're something of a power user. I can easily see people who don't care about implementations and distributions wanting to have a 'perl6' binary or alias installed for them by default. 13:32
mathw Inscribed on my tuppence is the opinion that Rakudo should have a binary called 'rakudo'. A perl6 symlink or alias can easily be provided by packagers.

moritz_ hugs masak
flussence pfft, real bloggers don't use preview/send raw postdata over netcat/etc

masak likely not.
tadzik I've seen them in Polish books too 15:55
15:56 plobsing left
mathw I first encountered them in a German translation of a Star Wars book 15:56
PerlJam Why would english speakers be confused by guillemets?
mathw they never show up in native English, we generally don't even know the characters exist
PerlJam I always go with "the reader is smart" and will figure out what these symbols mean based on the context in which they are used. 15:57
mathw I've only seen them a few times in English text, always written by non-native speakers
yeah people could probably figure them out by context 15:58
rjbs I don't think anybody would really be confused.
15:58 plobsing joined
rjbs It's just incorrect, and would be easier to read if corrected. 15:58
In other words: it would slow down reading.
PerlJam rjbs: only the first time they were encountered. :) 15:59
rjbs Sure, but why use them at all?
Anyway, not trying to be a pedant, just trying to help keep things smooth sailin'
PerlJam This is Perl 6 we're talking about! People should embrace strange symbols and get used to seeing them now rather than later.

PerlJam just checking :) 16:04
moritz_ :-)
rjbs PerlJam: Great question.
rjbs adds p6advent to his 2010 advent calendars list.
tadzik rjbs: weren't you using it just now?
(sarcasm)
masak I'm sorry I mentioned the word "sarcasm" :) 16:05
rjbs tadzik: The world may never know.
PerlJam tadzik: no, I think he was being sincere rather than sarcastic
(at least I'd like to believe that so it must be so :)
rjbs If I wanted to publish a web design advent calendar, I would want it to look better than 24ways.org/ 16:06
PerlJam masak: Here's something to think about then: when you hugged rjbs, I considered doing the same and then I thought, "what if everybody hugged rjbs?" and then I coined "hugpile" in my head. So, feel free to start hugpiles anytime :) 16:07
tadzik "terrible" sounds like something that can be either sarcarstic or nice
or even sarcastic. Colemak is hard 16:08
masak PerlJam: in a circle of friends I'm part of, we already have hugpiles. but we call them "hugging according to the principles of Dr. Volkov" :)
PerlJam: I've been at the bottom of such a pile. with five or so people on top of you, it's hard to breathe. also, my mobile phone lost a couple of functions from the pressure. but overall it was still a nice experience. 16:09
colomon ack. mono on my CentOS is version 1.2.4. :( 16:10

moritz_ did you submit it to r/programming too? 20:11

will do. I feel adventurous
moritz_ the most you can lose is karma
tadzik right
moritz_ developers.slashdot.org/story/10/12...-For-Geeks
tadzik and we may get a new Perlist. This is worth spending karma
is there a 'crosspost' button? 20:14

sorear I've cut the number of Perl6-level method calls by nearly 25% but that hasn't translated into a big performance improvement :/ 21:49
Tene sorear: you need to make your method calls slower first, so that that would be a bigger improvement. 21:50
And then you could make your method calls fast again, getting a second improvement.
diakopter sorear: I guess that means the Perl6-level method calls are being optimized(-away?) quite well. 21:51
