... the language is actually called "Perl 6" (with a space).

Which makes searching a darn sight more difficult than it would be without the space.

    In Google, you can put your query term in quotation marks:

    http://www.google.com/search?q="Perl+6"

    The closing quote is actually optional.

      Here’s a better tip: use a hyphen, as in [perl-6]. Google interprets hyphens in terms as optional and interchangable with a blank, so this gives you the results of both [perl6] and ["perl 6"]. (But Google already treats whitespace between a word and a number as partially insigificant, so you get largely the same set of results whichever the query you used. The only noticable difference is ranking – things that show up low in the results for both other queries drop even lower in the results for [perl-6].)

        Oh yeah, I didn’t think of PM itself, d’uh; sorry. Try this. Pity that the regex search seems to have been removed entirely and there’s no way to use any other form of wildcards either… hrmf.
