[Pugs] How to help?
Anthony Kilna
order to lend a hand. I'm fairly good with Perl5, and have read up on
Perl6, and understand that writing test cases for Perl6 is the best way
for me to help. Is there any central database of tests which need to be
written? Where do I get started?

Probably the best way to coordinate is actually the #perl6 irc
channel, where most people lurk and communication is instant.

Well, not really... We're working on that (I think)...

You can go through the synopses listed on http://dev.perl.org/perl6,
and look for interesting features, or you can go through perl 5's
test suite, to get some ideas, and look through pugs' test suite, to
see if it's missing.
If you don't find a test, just create one, and if you do find a
test, look inside it to see if it can be expanded.
Should you encounter a grey area in the design specs, mail
perl6-language or discuss on IRC.
Don't forget to ask Autrijus or Jesse (obra on IRC) for comitter
access, so that you can easily submit your work.
Ciao!

Actually if you want to work on this part, it needs some help.
In the svn repository you will fine a util/ folder, in it are two files:
catalog_tests.pl
split_test_catalog.pl
This was the first run at an automated test cataloger. It is in perl5
since perl6/Pugs currently does not have the needed features. You are
welcome to start hacking away on this, and see if you can't make it
work nicely.
