<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">You may be overestimating how much of tcl was implemented - math::bignum never worked -- The PIR-only implementation only ever ran about 30% of the tests, if I recall correctly.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have no intention of adding more to it, as it became very hard to maintain the existing work several years ago. I'm currently actively working on getting partcl-nqp up to speed running against the github's perl6/nqp (not the nqp shipping with parrot) - once that's working, we'll be able to target parrot as a VM, but I've no idea how HLL interop would work in that case.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'd be willing to consider pull requests against partcl/partcl if you still want to try - package is implemented here:</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div>

<br></div>
<div class="gmail_extra">As you can see, there's just a shell of [package], and it should error out when you give it a arguments it doesn't understand.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
If you're trying to pull in something from tcl's stdlib, you'll need to add it to library/ (being sure to pull a version compatible with the existing files - see <a href="https://github.com/partcl/partcl/blob/master/library/README" target="_blank">https://github.com/partcl/partcl/blob/master/library/README</a>)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Note that this was a challenging effort, as tcl isn't designed to be re-implemented; so it's quite possible that pulling in ::math::bignum will require some other huge chunk of tcl to be implemented that might not be. Best of luck.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If you get stuck, I'd be happy to get some tuits against partcl/partcl-nqp instead.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Regards.</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">FYI, I'm the partcl developer.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Some notes about the status of partcl on parrot:</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra"><a href="https://github.com/partcl/partcl" target="_blank">https://github.com/partcl/partcl</a> is the old, PIR based version - this version was more complete, written in PIR & C, but it is not even being tested regularly to insure that changes in parrot don't break it, as previous breaking changes are still unresolved.</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/partcl/partcl-nqp" target="_blank">https://github.com/partcl/partcl-nqp</a> is newer, and is targeting the nqp-rx that ships with parrot, which is, so far as I know, no longer maintained - a snapshot is bundled in with parrot.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>partcl-nqp has a branch, nqp2, which is in the middle of trying to target the standalone nqp, which is being maintained. However, this is a work in progress, and I'm not sure the branch even compiles at this point. The goal is to 1) make this work with the new standalone NQP, and then to get this version as functional as the PIR version once was. But it's not an actively developed project.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So, it looks like you're using the first version... and yes, I can reproduce your problem with my installed parrot (5.5.0-devel)</div><div class="gmail_extra">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I haven't done a bisect, but it looks like this file (Tcl::Glob) was installed as part of parrot's 5.0.0-devel branch, but isn't as of 5.5.0</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra">So, partcl on PIR is extra broken until that's fixed, or you could try with an older parrot version.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Apologies.</div><div class="gmail_extra">
