I have been converting a large program on mine over from
Perl 5 to Perl6. I have "finally" stopped mixing p5 and p6
together and can spot the differences pretty rapidly.
When I finish this conversion, I will only have one
p5 program left to maintain, but that can't be converted
to p6 as the ftp module in p6 is broken.
P5's sub declarations are tragic. P6's is a wonderful
clean up.
I like the way p6 does regex's better too.
$NewRev ~~ s/ "\<" .* //;
I like the way I can put spaces in the first part so
I can easily understand what I am looking for.
And I like the second part being literal so I
do have to escape the moon.
