You'd probably need to pull a later version from hs-plugin's darcs
repository:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/hs-plugins

I have fixed the URL in README and Makefile.PL.

Thanks!

ok, thank for advice, now I'm in process of installing this.

However even with elder hs-plugins parrot and perl support was installed
fine; (looks like I only missed inline Haskell supoprt).

While 'pugs' binary is a bit larger than 7Mb, 'pugs' with support of
parrot and perl is only a bit smaller than 20M. Am I understanding
correctly that both Perl and Parrot get statically built into binary?

Best regards,
Vadim.

That is correct.

thanks!

BTW it is quite convenient to have an independent binary that could be
just copied and then used.
IMHO 20Mb is somewhat huge for a binary, and perfectly good for
development purposes.

Thanks for showing an interesting development area! However it is sooo
large, that could be hardly be followed in a just in spare time basis.

Applauses x 1000.
