My second 10 line parrot program didn't compile, so I looked at the
examples at http://www.parrotcode.org/examples/pasm.html, and pasted
the following into a file.
bob@spain:~/src/parrotcode$ cat ex1.pasm
new P0, .PerlInt
set P0, 123
new P1, .PerlInt
set P1, 321
add P1, P1, P0
print P1
print "\n"
end
bob@spain:~/src/parrotcode$ ../parrot-0.4.7/parrot ex1.pasm
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected DOT
in file 'ex1.pasm' line 1
I am not sure how to proceed.

I think the example is out of date. IIRC, the .PerlInt type
was removed some time ago, and so the code above should now
use ".Integer" instead of ".PerlInt".

This example doesn't work anymore because PerlInt is no longer a
builtin PMC. The examples need to be updated. Replacing PerlInt with
Integer makes it work:
new P0, .Integer
set P0, 123
new P1, .Integer
set P1, 321
add P1, P1, P0
print P1
print "\n"
end

This sounds like it could be a CAGE task. Could you open a ticket for
this please? Thanks heaps!
Matt: apologies for the second email, I intended to reply to the list.

This is already a ticket. No need to open a new one. And it's closed
