Bug #34957 for pugs: Pugs 6.2.0 build from scratch bug

Hi, I've been very intrigued and excited by reading about all the Pugs development work. I thought I'd give it a try myself. Unfortunately, I've run into a showstopping bug in the install process. When I try "nmake", it fails because I don't have Perl6 installed already! Details: My platform is WinXP, my Perl is ActiveState's 5.8.0 build 806. I do "perl Makefile.PL" as instructed, I get this output: cp lib/Perl6/Pugs.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\Perl6/Pugs.pm cp lib/Perl6/MakeMaker.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\Perl6/MakeMaker.pm cp lib/CGI.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\CGI.pm cp lib/CGI/Remote.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\CGI/Remote.pm cp lib/CGI/Server.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\CGI/Server.pm cp lib/File/Spec/Unix.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\File/Spec/Unix.pm cp lib/File/Spec/Win32.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\File/Spec/Win32.pm cp lib/File/Spec.pm C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\blib\lib\File/Spec.pm Perl v6.0.0 required--this is only v5.8.0, stopped at C:\tools\Perl6-Pugs-6.2.0\ blib\lib/File/Spec.pm line 1.

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\tools\perl\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0xff' Stop. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2' Stop. (Sorry, mangled a bit during the paste, but the problem clearly is line 1 of File::Spec -- "use v6". Any idea what's going on here? Is it some sort of wackiness in my particular system, or do I need to try installing an earlier Pugs first? Or should I just toss it all and try building everything on my Linux box?
