»»» This post is about using the immature Perl 6 with the rock solid Perl 5 «««

Stefan Seifert, aka nine, did a fun 5 minute lightning talk about P5/P6 interop using Rakudo/NQP/MoarVM and the Inline::Perl5 module at YAPC::EU when the module was literally just a couple hours old .

About a month later he did an equally fun 16 minute talk at APW. This latest talk covers:

• "How to port a Catalyst based web application from Perl 5 to Perl 6.";

• Writing Catalyst controllers in P6;

• Using CPAN modules including ones that rely on XS;

• Writing subclasses of P5 classes in P6;

• Passing P6 objects to P5 and using them in P5 as if they were P5 objects;

• Passing P5 objects to P6 and using them in P6 as if they were P6 objects.

The screen at APW supposedly showing nine's slides is hard to read. Here's a plain text version of his APW slides.

(Note that videos from the main room (Vitosha) at YAPC::EU, and videos from APW, were uploaded last night to the yapceu youtube channel and the APW 2014 channel.)
