class Compiler
class Compiler does Systemic {}
Built-in class for providing compiler related information. Usually accessed
through the compiler attribute of the
$*RAKU dynamic variable.
say $*RAKU.compiler; # OUTPUT: Ā«rakudo (2020.02.16.g.28.bd.4247.a)ā¤Ā»
Note: Before Rakudo release 2020.1 this was only available through
the compiler attribute of the $*PERL dynamic variable. Since
Rakudo release 2020.1 this is available through both the $*RAKU
and the $*PERL variables.
