Hello,

I think is a bug, and I think it's in Perl6. I was not able to find a
work around for it in Perl6. My solution was to compile it in Perl.

The reported error is​:

Net​::WebSocket​::Server parameter 'on_tick' expected type is CODE at -e
line 0.

  in method invoke
at /home/ubuntu/.rakudobrew/moar-nom/install/share/perl6/site/sources/286B9E53482EA4E593D57C652B8B62AFB56E5F0E line 482

  in block <unit> at ./test.pl line 7

Here is the program, in its entirety.

#!/usr/bin/env perl6

use Inline​::Perl5;

use Net​::WebSocket​::Server​:from<Perl5>;

my $ws = Net​::WebSocket​::Server.new(
  listen => 3000,
  tick_period => 5,
  on_tick => sub {
  my ($serv) = @​_;
  $_.send_utf8(time) for $serv.connections;
  },
  ).start;

This was actually an issue with Inline​::Perl5 that wrapped Perl 6 Callables in objects and used overload to provide callability. Code in Net​::WebSocket​::Server however expected a real genuine CODE reference and would accept nothing else. So that's what we now create in Inline​::Perl5 v0.4.

Please upgrade Inline​::Perl5 and try again. Should work now.

Thanks for the report!
