There. All better now :) (And (probably?) compatible with Perl 6)
I think it fails in at least three ways:
  1. When accessing a hash element, the sigil in Perl6 is %, not $.
  2. The autoquoting shortcut has been replaced with a construct that requires as many keystrokes as using quotes. I'm not quite sure what %foo{three} does in Perl6, but I think it's the same as %foo{three()}. The Perl5 equivalent of $foo{three} is %foo{'three'} or %foo<<three>>. The latter can also be written using some Latin-1/Unicode character, but I can't be bothered to look up its code. It's a character that isn't on a standard US keyboard. But someone out there who held on to his APL keyboard will be very happy with Perl6.
  3. The arrow is gone. Perl bows its head to Java, and uses a dot. So it's $doit.(1). Or maybe &doit.(1), just as one uses % to access a hash element.
