About

Rakudo is the Perl 6 compiler for Parrot, called 'Rakudo Perl 6' or "Rakudo" for short.

This ``port'' contains patches necessary to make the Rakudo application source code compile and run on FreeBSD.

Since February 2010 rakudo in the official FreeBSD ports tree !

Install

For install rakudo simply type: 

    pkg_add -r rakudo

or make from source: 

 cd /usr/ports/lang/rakudo
 make install clean

Finally type the following on the command line: 

    perl6 -e 'say "Hello, world !"'

Now you're ready to start using rakudo !

    Rakudo Star is a parrallel release series; however, it is not a series of
    compiler releases, but a series of complete Perl 6 environments.  A
    single release of Rakudo Star will contain:

    - Some version of Rakudo (not necessarily a monthly)
    - Some version of Parrot
    - Some random libraries
    - Documentation

    all vetted to work OK together.
