There are five apocalypses, covering what's happening to the stuff definied in the first five chapters of Programming Perl, and four Exegeses, explaining Apocalypses 2 through 5 for mere mortals, at perl.com. Search for Apocalypse and you'll find them. The apocalypses are also collected up at dev.perl.org, as are the Exegeses. If you want to play with what's been specified, there's a compiler in progress in Parrot that you can grab and build.	[reply]

Don't forget Damian's Exegises that show more examples and explanations to Larry's design. `-- Joost downtime n. The period during which a system is error-free and immune from user input.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Monks, is there a Perl 6 white paper or specification? No, it's still in development. See the `perl6-language` mailing list and for solid docs the `perl6-documentation` list to see how it's working out (not for the feint of heart). HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply]

Closest thing to it is the Apocalypse series. The first two are here (external link).	[reply]
