Quite a few of the folks who work on Perl 6 don't know Perl 5, or at least know it only incidentally. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh                               sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com                                  ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad        http://sinenomine.net And quiet a few perl 5 programmers are REALLY GRUMPY/CRABBY about perl 6.  I don't get it.  From what I have seen, perl 6 removes some of the poorly thought out features with perl 5, such as having to pass address pointers (references) of arrays to subroutines when passing multiple variables with arrays in them.  I can't wait for RHEL 7 support for perl 6. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
