Hi,

I've just tried to write a simple perl program in Windows, before trying
it in Linux, and encountered the following problem​:

CODE

use v6;

say "WOOT";

class Foo {
method bar () {
say "bar";
}
}

my Foo $f .= new;
$f.bar();

say "WOOTY";

Testing on Windows (0.9.0 binary from parrot website)​:

C​:\...\Perl6Test>perl6 -c test.pl
syntax OK

C​:\...\Perl6Test>perl6 test.pl

C​:\...\Perl6Test>

Testing on Linux (0.9.0 source from parrot website)​:
# perl6 -c test.pl
syntax OK

# perl6 test.pl
WOOT
bar
WOOTY

It was suggested by the guys in #perl6 on freenode that I email this to
you guys as a possible bug.

Thanks!

I retested the example with a current Bratislava rakudo built with
ActivePerl/Mingw gcc under Windows Vista and it ran fine. Could the
author update their Perl 6 to a current rakudo and retest? If the
persistence of the problem can't be confirmed, the problem seems
unlikely enough that closing it seems reasonable.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

No response for several days, and I tested it on MS VC++ on Windows XP
and it ran fine there too. So think we can close this...can always be
re-opened with more details on the specific compiler/Windows version.

Thanks,
