Hello World
The classical introductory exercise. Just say "Hello, World!".
"Hello, World!" is the traditional first program for beginning programming in a new language or environment.
The objectives are simple:
- Write a function that returns the string "Hello, World!".
- Run the test suite and make sure that it succeeds.
- Submit your solution and check it at the website.
If everything goes well, you will be ready to fetch your first real exercise.
Resources
Remember to check out the Perl 6 documentation and resources pages for information, tips, and examples if you get stuck.
Running the tests
There is a test script included with the exercise; a file with the extension
.t. You can run the test script for the exercise by executing the command
prove . --exec=perl6 in the exercise directory. You can also add the -v flag
e.g. prove . --exec=perl6 -v to display all tests, including any optional
tests marked as 'TODO'.
