My bad. (I'm still rather curious as to how he's going to accomplish that, but <shrug>. I can't wait for Apocalypse 3.)

    Typo time?

    Apocalypse 3 already exists. The 4'th one is still forthcoming.

    As for how they are going to do it, the parser will be customizable. Unless it sees something that says, "Perl 6" it will try to parse your file as Perl 5 code.

      Thinko time; I didn't check the count first, and had apparently forgotten. I just tripple-checked; I have read them all.

      I know about the customizable parser; I hung around perl6-internals for quite a while. I'm just wondering what indicators it's going to use. (My guess is that unless it sees a shebang line with the string "perl6" in it, or a use 6;, then it will assume perl5. I'm wondering specificly about -e oneliners.)
