Hi,
If we declared, for example:
role A::B {};

Jonathan

'sub A::Foo', and so on.

are six metaoperators (made in the second paragraph of the meta
operators section) is no longer true. Likewise, the reduction
operator is no longer the fourth metaoperator (as stated in the first
sentence of the reduction operat

I uploaded Perl6::Conf
The code itself is not interesting, my main interest is the "distribution".
One of the issues I encountered is the display on the two search engines:
