Diving into Perl 6

Andy Lester, Perlbuzz, Aug 12, 2010

This is just a post to remind me that I'm following this 'diving into Perl 6' series. I'm not at all sold on Perl 6 -- to me it feels like a ten year digression from Perl 5 (which is what I use). But, "Perl 6 might be really cool, however it's very different from its predecessor. I suppose I agree with Andy that Larry can put the label Perl 6 on whatever he wants. But it might as well be call LarryLang 1." So, it's OK. And there seems to be some new support for Perl 5, so maybe it's not dead after all. I certainly get a lot of mileage out of it.
