Re^2: What *is* Perl6?

Except that if you follow perl6-language you can watch the thing warp all over the place. Larrys apocalypses provide an outline but AFAIK reality doesn't actually conform to those.

__SIG__
use B;
printf "You are here %08x\n", unpack "L!", unpack "P4", pack
  "L!", B::svref_2object(sub{})->OUTSIDE;

Possibly the P6P digest is possibly a better way of keeping up to date, requires more work to plow through than the apocalypses though.	[reply]

It requires a fair amount of work to write. Which reminds me, I'd better finish writing the latest summary. To be honest, I'm not really sure that the summary is really what Flame wants, in fact, I'm not even sure that what zie wants currently exists. The problem is that stuff changes all the time, and keeping a document up to date with what has changed would be Hard Work (and if it's to be definitive it'd need a fair amount of time from Larry & Co to proofread it and make sure it's accurate, and really we want them working on Apocalypses.) However, the perl6-documentation people are plugging away at producing detailed documentation which covers the 'nailed down' behaviour. So far they've produced a document on numeric literals and are working on the string literals doc at the moment.	[reply]

Perl6-language is a place to discuss potential new language features and changed old language features. Don't make the mistake of assuming that it's the final word on perl 6....	[reply]
