thanks for the advice mr danger -- i checked out a CVS copy, and needed to twiddle the version number as well.

have to say, i'm excited... even by my first for loop - parallel iteration is cool! likewise with the hyper operators - just like an even more brief map {} LIST. um... not sure about _ for concatenation though... call me a heretic, but i'd prefer an overloaded '+' to concatenate strings and '*' to repeat strings (a la perl5 'x' operator)... more parametric polymorphism please... 

print "hello perl6 world\n";

my int @list1 = ( 1 .. 10 );
my int @list2 = @list1 ^* 2;

my int $i = 0;
for @list1; @list2 -> $a; $b {
    print "list iteration " _ ++$i
        _ ": a is " _ $a
        _ "; b is " _ $b
        _ "\n";
}

this works! although the contents of @list2, once hyper-doubled, appear to be (ie they print as) floating point numbers. nevertheless, this is extremely exciting.
