Questions about Perl6 are perfectly fine meditations in the current state of affairs.

I duly note that there's nothing in your reply talking about making filtering PM easier for the Perl6 experts anymore.

When I said “cool topics,” I wasn't talking about fads. Nor do I qualify Perl6 as a fad, in case you don't remember my stance.

But that doesn't mean anything about whether there should be a section any more than similar reasons meant there should be a CGI section or an XML section or a DBI or SQL section. Where'd you put a question like “how do I do X in Perl5 and how in Perl6” anyway?

Look at the structure of the current sections. We have one for (not so) simple questions; one for musings; a few places to post code; a place for meta-discussion about the site and community itself; for tutorials; for archived answers; etc. Do you see a pattern? They differ by the intent of root nodes, not by technology used — and that's exactly the right distinction. It would ill-advised for new sections to break from this scheme.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
