Pies is a module management solution for Perl 6. Pies itself is a specification (like masak's Pls), and cannot install anything itself. The project ships two implementations: ufobuilder, being an extremely simple example implementation of Pies, and Panda, being the actual module manager to use.
To install Panda along with all its dependencies, simply run the script bootstrap.pl in the root of the panda git repo. You must have perl6 installed in order to run bootstrap.pl
git clone --recursive git://github.com/tadzik/panda.git
cd panda
perl6 bootstrap.pl
Since the bootstrap step currently runs tests with prove, you will need a recent TAP::Harness (3.x) for it to work properly.
If you are behind a proxy, you need to configure git and configure wget to use the proxy.
Panda currently depends on wget; you can obtain a Windows build of wget at:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
Once you have obtained and installed it, and have both wget and perl6 in your path, you may now install Panda by doing:
git clone --recursive git://github.com/tadzik/panda.git
cd panda
perl6 bootstrap.pl
One way to run the test suite is with prove from TAP::Harness
prove -e perl6 -lrv t/
You will need a recent TAP::Harness (3.x) to have a prove binary with an -e option.
Panda can be used like:
panda install Acme::Meow
Alternatively, you can install a package from the local disk by supplying its path:
panda install ./perl6-Acme-Meow
Note that ~/.perl6/bin has to be in your $PATH for you to be able to use panda from the command line.
If you use bash, you can accomplish this with
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.perl6/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
