Typeglobs are definitely dead in perl 6, and won't be available at all to your programs. Parrot will still be able to do globby things so we can make perl 5 code work under parrot, but it'll definitely be a workaround sort of thing.

If you've (the generic you here, as I have no doubt tye knows how to make globs dance) never used them, this probably isn't a good time to start, as there's very rarely any good reason to do so in perl 5. If you knew when and where it was a good idea, you'd already be more than capable of doing it without asking how globs work. :)
