Hi,
I think featurewise Rakudo is now at a point where it could already be
use for some serious work. Surely many things are missing, but (for me)
the two most important things - good OOP support and types - are already
in. And the syntax is just lovely :) (I think I have a syntax-fetish... :)

I was there at the workshop too. You cannot count me in into being biased
against Perl 6. Only biased that it takes so long :-).
I know, and there were some others (like Herbert aka lichtkind, who writes
and maintains the German Perl 6 wiki pages) with the same opinions.
But the ge

Should it really? I mean: is the time right for that now?
Let's ask the other way round: Is this the time for only one
implementation? And who decides that it's the one based on parrot?
What happens if parrot turns out to be a dead end? (very unlikely, but
possible).
Let's give

To that end, I'm soliciting:

Hi,
I was wondering if there is (or there should be) a documentation on how
to elegantly write Perl6 code.
I am afraid that when I will be starting to write Perl6 code, it will be
too much Perl5-ish, and I will end up rewriting my code in every 3
months because I hate when my code is not el

Inefficient was probably a bad choice of word.
I would rather say: I would not like to see Perl6's CGI.pm as a monster

Erm...
Sorry for the bandwith usage again, but what about something like
class CGI
is CGI::Base
does CGI::ParamParser
does CGI::HTML

?
To make CGI.pm kind of backward compatible, but separates the layers.
(Please excuse my bad syntax/semantics.)

You rarely do real HTTP handling when you use CGI.
You may not, but many people do a lot of these things.
Actually me, too. Not with CGI.pm, though.
I tend to use CGI::Simple for form/param parsing, Template.pm for

That sounds nice.

Jeff,
Greetings all. I've followed perl6 development since the beginning,
and have tried to stay at least somewhat informed along the way. I'll
confess to being puzzled at some of the design decisions, but knowing
my own limitations have had faith in @Larry to do the right thing.

Also, what is the best place to begin learning the Perl6 syntax? A
tutorial would be great, as a dry technical specification of the
language doesn't teach very well.
IMHO examples teach the best. A table with "Perl5 version" versus "Perl6
version" examples - even one-liners - would be
Hi,
I have never understand this "my wiki syntax is better than yours"
thing. It's like "my templateing engine is better than yours".
I feel like which should have "wiki.conf" with :

Hi,
Hi Conrad,
I run the grant committee for the Perl Foundation and I sit on the steering
committee, so I suppose I can discuss your proposal (there are some other TPF
folk here, too, so that's why this is a public email). Also, the following

Hi,
However, as has been pointed out regarding MS Word, most users only
use a very tiny subset of its functionality. The problem is that the
users
are using different subsets. I've done huge amounts of HTML parsing and
can't recall having used GDBM_File.
It all comes to *different* subset
Chris,
Strange. I have just tried this using an old version (6.2.3) of Pugs:
my (@array) = 1,2,3;
print @array[0] ~ "|" ~ @array[1] ~ "|" ~ @array[2] ~ "\n";
It prints
1|2|3
on my terminal.
Gabor's join-ed version also works.
