That's why I started the perlhints project for Perl 6.

The idea is that either ask for a specific symbol (for example '*') and it gives you a list of possible meanings (multiplication, quantifier in regexes, ...).

The second idea is that you provide it with a piece of code, it uses Perl 6's STD.pm to parse it, and you can get an explanation of each syntactic construct, and where to read more about it.

I'm currently not working active on it because I don't really know what's the best way to implement it. But as soon as the specs on rules and action stubs get a bit more stable I plan to pursue it further.
