flight of marketing fancy about naming etc:
Perl's Rapture
===
Imagine we officially embarked on a year+ long communal process in
which we (TPF and Perl community) sort out branding and marketing of
Perlish languages.
You want to do two things:
1. match/replace something
2. match/replace something else
To do this in one command you need:
* `:g` to tell P6 to keep going after the first match
* `||` to tell P6 to match what's on the left first, or if that fails,
what's on the right
Which yields:
my $x="
TL;DR Imo, one of Perl 6's notable strengths is its approach to its
specification. Imo companies will love it. I can see it becoming a
primary tool for driving P6 forward in just the right way.
Steve has already answered with the short version of some of what I
say below, and I agree with
Hi Damian,
The .kxxv method name is a placeholder.

While I'm all in favour of other languages using Pod as a documentation

I think that's unlikely. Pod says that anything of the form:

*anywhere* as the first non-whitespace of a line, is considered a Pod
directive.

Gotcha. Perhaps something like perl6 -DOC is needed to execute DOC
blocks in the file passed on the command line and files it use's,
whereas perl6 -doc only processes DOC blocks in the Setting or its
use'd files, and

Excellent idea. But may I suggest you perhaps might like to hold off
that discussion until next week?
@Larry had some very fruitful discussions about the long-overdue Pod

I do indeed feel underwhelmed. I'll surely get over it but I may as
well post why, even though Larry's presumably trying to stop the

Why do I get the sense that some in the community are suffering siege
