When you have a couple of hours, the recent specifications are very interesting reading. Larry Wall has gone to great lengths to remove edge cases and one-off cases. http://perlcabal.org/syn/ If you have 20 minutes, then reading the latest State of the Onion address is indirectly informative about Perl 6. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/12/06/soto-11.html Even with all of the design fixes in Perl 6 there will still be a large crowd that will mock Perl. But I'll have even less reason to care than I have now. Paul /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
