make perl6 works now with pugs (with php bonus included)

perl6 is now self hosted in the next parrot release 0.5.2

Now you check out the parrot vm from svn and test the perl6 vm/compiler

here is the quote from the NEWS file

New in 0.5.2

- "make perl6" now builds a Perl 6 executable

Here is the howto

1.check out the code

svn co https://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk parrot

2.run the Configure script

cd parrot

perl Configure.pl --prefix=/opt/parrot

3. Make the perl6

make perl6

.... [skip the compile lines]...

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

Hello, world!

4 Make perl6 to be executable file and then run the hello world again :)

chmod +x perl6

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

5. create an file goodbyeworld.pl with this content

vim goodbyeworld.pl

say "Hello, world!"

./perl6 godbyeworld.pl

All you need to do now is to test the new mod_parrot apache module or the .... php compiler for perl6!!!

cd languages/plumhead

make ; make test

go to the parrot root source directory

cd ../../

./parrot languages/plumhead/plumhead.pbc languages/plumhead/t/hello_1.php

Hello, World!
