the docs at tablets.perl6.org aren't as up to date as those on doc.perl6.org. The doc.perl6.org docs are currently the reference work for Perl6, however please note that they are very much a work in progress. > From a Perl 6 newbie standpoint, it looks like there are too many docs > with overlapping purposes referenced on perl.org and which, > confusingly, have different pieces missing.

We're doing our best to provide current and accurate documentation. Perl6 is a very large language, and thus gaps in the documentation are to be expected; especially considering the volunteer based nature of the project. Thanks for pointing out the $*PROGRAM omission! I've just added it to the list of special variables and it should be available online within the next 10-15 minutes. Kind regards, Paul
