I don't think the way to re-use Perl 5 code in Perl 6 will be to just copy it over, and run it with a Perl 6 compiler.

Rather the Perl 6 compiler and runtime will talk to to the perl 5 compiler/interpreter, and that way you can use Perl 5 modules in Perl 6.

In that case it doesn't matter if one of the two usages of eval is now spelled try in Perl 6, and there's no reason to change any file - you'll continue to run your Perl 5 scripts with perl 5, and you'll write Perl 6 scripts in Perl 6, and use Perl 5 modules.

That's not just a glimpse of the future, but it actually works (with limits, but it does work). Tim Bunce demonstrated usage of the Perl 5 DBI in Perl 6 code through blizkost at YAPC::EU 2010.

Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
