$/, $\, $|, $", and $,

Gone in Perl 6. Replaced by methods on individual filehandles.

All (sniff) good things must come to a (sniff) end eh?

Ill miss those ones I tell yah. Its sad to see such friendly variables consigned to the waste basket of history... Sniff.

Globs

Gone in Perl 6. Every symbol has its own entry in some symbol table.

Thank you thank you! Ive been working on a new dumper module recently and those dang globs caused my code size to go up by about 30%.
