BTW, is Larry working on a book about Perl 6, like the Camel?	[reply]

If he does, it'll need a smashy title, like "The Joy of Six" or "Six Six Six - Return of the Undead" Cheers Rolf PS: Je suis Charlie!	[reply]

I was there at FOSDEM and I can ssure you that Larry was mode adamant than that. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout.
