Rakudo Perl 6 is a production-ready, stable implementation of the Perl
6 programming language.

Information on Perl 6 can be found at https://www.perl6.org/.

Install the perl6-Readline package or rlwrap to enable command line
editing in the perl6 interpreter.


Optional Dependencies

Install the zef package manager to manage your Perl 6 modules.

By default, Rakudo is built with support for MoarVM. The JVM backend is
experimental and requires JDK 8.

   BACKENDS=moar,jvm ./rakudo.SlackBuild

Run the tests with:

   MAKETEST=yes ./rakudo.SlackBuild
