perl6 howto in ubuntu dapper

I will present an small howto compile and install perl6 and parrotvm on an ubuntu dapper

machine. I followed this howto with small corrections when the build/install went astray

http://dresden-pm.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/PM/PugsFirstBloodEnglish
Check out the current parrot source tree

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

cd parrot

Try to run configure script to see what is missing

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

In my case it died at some step

step auto::gcc died during execution: Linker failed (see test.ldo) at lib/Parrot/Configure/Step.pm line 365
Parrot::Configure::Step::cc_build() called at config/auto/gcc.pm line 36

auto::gcc::runstep('auto::gcc=HASH(0x83a1018)',
'Parrot::Configure=HASH(0x826970c)') called at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm
line 239
eval {...} called at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm line 235
Parrot::Configure::runsteps('Parrot::Configure=HASH(0x826970c)') called at Configure.pl line 443

It was an fuzzy error so i read that i need the Haskel compiler ,Let's try it

sudo apt-get install ghc6

Then I looked in the test.ldo content

view test.ldo

There is light now in my head aha no c++ file so i created the symlink

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/c++

I rerun the configure script

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

All was ok so i installed the parrotVM

sudo make install

It's time now for perl6 compiler (aka pugs)

svn co http://svn.perl.org/perl6/pugs/trunk pugs

cd pugs

You need some devel libraries and some environment variables

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libperl-dev

export PUGS_EMBED="perl5 parrot"

export PARROT_PATH=${HOME}/path/to/src/parrot/

perl Makefile.PL

time make

this can be used as cpu burn benchmark
real 64m59.178s
user 31m25.294s
sys 0m54.823s

sudo make install

pugs -e '"What say you?".say;'

ps: there is now an list for perl6.users
I tried to write the goodbye world example this way but didn't worked yet

pugs -e ' "What".say."You";'
***

Yah big surprise Romanians from Spain , France,Portugal,GB voted with ...that lame romanian singer (I thought it was an vampire or something dead - it was so white and pale)

If you wan't to know why the metal reprensents the Finland think of few rock , heavy metal/melodic bands:nightwish , HIM, Apocalyptica http://musicmoz.org/Regional/Europe/Finland/Bands_and_Artists/

And the eurovision wanted to ban the rock from contest - That was the revenge of the Heavy Metal . They won , they were different

TFMail secure replacement for formmail - I needed a good replacement for formmail and found nms-scripts
nms FormMail is a drop-in replacement for Matt Wright's FormMail scrip
is recomended on the Matt Wright's scripts page as an secure and better written FormMail script


But what i will test today is something new TFMail (improved Form Mail) With that script page/encoding for text message can use UTF-8 for form fields and there are more options in the configuration area.
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/tfmail.tar.gz


tar -zxvf tfmail.tar.gz

cd tfmail

vi .htaccess
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

copy the file TFmail.pl into your cgi-bin
directory.


cp TFmail.pl ../


vi default.trc
complete the recipient field with your email address


cd ../

change the LIBDIR, CONFIG_ROOT
In my case was '/example/cgi-bin/tfmail'

MAILPROG '/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t'

chown apache.apache TFmail.pl (in case you run it with suexec under apache or nobody user)

create an html form like for the formmail script (without recipient field)

contact.html
< action="http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/TFmail.pl" method="POST" name="test">

< type="text" name="contact" size="40">

Test the contact script www.example.com/contact.html

UTF-8 and formail script

Seems that the page/encoding for text message that is send to recipient is not using UTF-8
So you see the accented chars replaced with strange chars
My first recommended solution is to use the
nms FormMail is a drop-in replacement for Matt Wright's FormMail scrip
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

ps: is recomended on the Matt Wright's scripts page as an secure and better written FormMail script
